Thread: Program to show the number of occurrences of words...

Hi,

This is a program to take in several lines of text and output the number of one-letter word, two-letter words.....etc. But it didn't work. I think it's because the last word of the sentence got stuck to the first word of the next sentence and become one word. I tried adding a space in between ( maybe i did it the wrong way ) but still didnt' output corectly. Pls give a hand. Thnx in advance.!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
   int word_length_occurrence[ 20 ] = { 0 };
   char string[ 700 ];
   char tempStr[ 300 ];
   int i, numLines;
   int maxLength = 0;
   char *tokenPtr;

   printf( "Number of lines: " );
   scanf( "%d", &numLines );

   gets( tempStr ); /* grabs the carriage return */

   for ( i = 0; i < numLines; i++ ) {
      gets( tempStr );
      strcat( string, tempStr );
   }

   tokenPtr = strtok( string, " " );

   while ( tokenPtr != NULL ) {
      word_length_occurrence[ strlen( tokenPtr ) ]++;
      if ( maxLength < strlen( tokenPtr ) )
         maxLength = strlen( tokenPtr );
      tokenPtr = strtok( NULL, " " );
   }

   printf( "%8s%15s\n", "Word Length", "Occurrences" );

   for ( i = 1; i <= maxLength; i++ )
      printf( "%4d%15d%c", i, word_length_occurrence[ i ], '\n' );

   printf( "\n" );
   system("PAUSE");
   return 0;
}
