How will you count the number of characters including space in a string or group of words using C language?

the output has to shown





enter the whole name: Juan DeLa Cruz





No.of characters shown: 14


No. of strings: 3

Should be somethink like this (written in "project style") :





#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;





int main(int argc, char* argv[])


{


const unsigned length= 40;


char name[length]; /* declare the variable used to store the name */


unsigned chars=0, strings=0, blank=1; /* declare the counters */





printf("Enter the string :\n");


fgets(name,length,stdin); /* read the string name from the screen */





/* while loop to count chars and string - strlen would be easier but you probably may not use it as it's a project. Stop when it meets the end of the array */


while(name[chars]!='\n' %26amp;%26amp; name[chars]!='\0')


{


if (name[chars]==' ') blank=1; /* remove all the blanks and count them in chars, remembering that we're in a "blank" phase. in case there are many following like in " Juan de la Cruiz " */


else


{


if (chars==0 || blank==1)


{ /* if the first char isn't a blank or after all the blank trailing, we begin a new string in the sentence */


strings++;


blank= 0; /* we're not in a "blank phase" anymore */


}


}


chars++; /* in any case, we advance in the string name */


}


printf("\nNumber of characters in the string is=%d",chars);


printf("\nNumber of strings is=%d\n\n",strings);


}
Reply:Been awhile since I messed with c or c++ but I would count as 14 characters...


plus a null?


isn't there something that will tell you length of string?


strlen
