Words and Lines on paragraph

So basically I have the following task: "Write a program that reads all input and prints, for each paragraph, the number of words and lines. A paragraph is a portion of text that does not start with a newline, ends with a single newline or EOF and is separated by at least one newline from other paragraphs.". And so far I wrote this:

Code:

---

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int countParagraphs(){
    int noParagraphs=0;
    int c1=getchar();
    int c2=getchar();
    if(c1!='\n'){
        c1=c2;
    }
    if(c1='\n' && c2 != EOF) // if the first character is newline and we haven't reached the end of the entire text, the number of paragraphs rises
        noParagraphs++;
    }
    return noParagraphs;
   
}
int countWords(){
    int noWords=0;
    int c1=getchar();
    if(c1 != '\n'){
        if(isalpha(c1)){
        noWords++;
        }
        while(c1!=EOF){
            int c2=getchar();
            if(isspace(c1) && isalpha(c2)){ // if the first char is a space and a second is a letter => the number of words rises
                noWords++;
            }
            c1=c2;
        }
        return noWords;
    }
    int countLines(){
        int noLines=0;
        int c1=getchar();
        while(isalnum(c1) || isspace(c1)){  //while the first char is a letter, digit or space continue reading the sequence
            int c2=getchar();
            c1=c2;
        }
        if((issalnum(c1) || issspace(c1) && c2='\n'){ // if we have a letter, digit or space before newline, increase the number of lines
          noLines++;
        }
         
        return noLines;
       


int main(){
   




}

Now, to explain my thought process: I thought I would split the program into 3 functions, one to count the number of paragraphs, another to count the words on a paragraph (which I'm having trouble with) and a third counting the number of lines. I'm a newbie in C (stating the obvious), and I'm still learning the basics. I know I probably made a bunch of mistakes writing the program so far, but I'm stuck and I don't know how to continue. Also, I need help with designing the main function in order to be able to write a text, so that I can see the output based on that text. Thank you!!

You main might be something like (in psuedo-code):

Code:

---

main function
  read first character
  while not end of file
    process character for line counting
    process character for word counting
    if it is the end of paragraph
      output line and word counts
      reset line and word counts
    read next character

One of the more interesting ways to do this might be having "isEndOfWord(char c)", "isEndOfLine(char c)" and "isEndOfParagraph(char c)" functions.

The isEndOfLine(c) function is easy to code - is it a New Line character?.

The isEndOfWord(c) is a little harder - was the last character an alpha, and is this character not an alpha?

The isEndOfParagraph(c) function is harder - has it been called with a newline, then zero or more spaces and then another newline?

You can then use the return values from these functions to help the main program do the counting.
