    What is your idea, and what have you tried?

    Start with a simpler program to just print each word.

    Then you can expand to comparing adjacent words.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    the idea is that , i've seen a question that want me to make a program with three function , one of them is to delete extra spaces , and the second to capitalize the first character in the first word and the delete the other capital characters ,and the third that want me to to delete consecutive repeated words only the consecutive ones. like : the great great the , print : the great the

    That's not "your idea", that's the requirements. What I meant is how do you intend to do this? How are you going to read the words?

    Okay, so what is your current code?

    i didnt do the main yet , i just did the two functions alone as a main , just this one the third i didn't do.
    Code:
    
    
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <string.h>
     
    int main() {
           char TextBefore[100], TextAfter[100];
           int j = 0, i;
           printf("Enter a String \n");
           gets(TextBefore);
           /* Skips all spaces before first characters */
           while (TextBefore[j] == ' ') {
                  j++;
           }
     
           for (i = 0; TextBefore[j] != '\0'; j++) {
                 if (TextBefore[j] == ' ' && TextBefore[j - 1] == ' ') {
                        continue;
                 }
                 TextAfter[i] = TextBefore[j];
                 i++;
           }
           TextAfter[i] = '\0';
           printf("String without extra spaces\n%s", TextAfter);
     
           getch();
           return 0;
    }
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <string.h>



    Code:
    int main()
    {
           char TextAfter[100];
           int i = 0;
           gets(TextAfter);
           if (TextAfter[i] >= 'a' && TextAfter[i] <= 'z')
                 TextAfter[i] -= 32;
     
     
           for (i = 1;i < strlen(TextAfter); i++) {
                 if (TextAfter[i] >= 'A' && TextAfter[i] <= 'Z')
                        TextAfter[i] += 32;
           }
           puts(TextAfter);
           getch();
           return 0;
     
          
    }

    You're getting somewhere, definitely. I would just make sure that you compile in such a way that catches mistakes like confusing = for == and vice versa.

    Code:
    C:\Users\jk\Desktop>gcc -Wall -std=c99 -c foobar.c
    foobar.c: In function 'main':
    foobar.c:31:13: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
                 flag == 0;
                 ^
    foobar.c:37:9: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
             if (flag = 1)
             ^
    foobar.c:39:13: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
                 c == i + count;
                 ^
    foobar.c:42:19: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value]
                       TextAfter[i] == TextAfter[c];
                       ^
    foobar.c:42:44: warning: 'c' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
                       TextAfter[i] == TextAfter[c];
                                                ^
    It looks like you have the meaning of these operators backwards.
