Thread: Introduction in c dennis

hello, i want to learn c, i reviewed the book of Brian W. and i have a questions in the next code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void ){
int c;
long n;
n=0;
for(n=0;(c=getchar())!= EOF;n++ )
;
printf("fin %ld",n);
return 0;
}

the problem is when i introduce a character, for example blank space and then continue loop. it doesn´t break. why ?
sorry for my enlgish.

The loop will continue until the getchar() function detects the end-of-file condition. From the keyboard, you signal that condition by pressing a special key combination which is Ctrl-Z on Windows (which I believe needs to be entered at the beginning of a line), or Ctrl-D on *nix.

Please use proper indentation for the code.
