and shows only first charcters eg:-

if written:-

Re: help wid a programme

scanf is not suitable for this task
it stops when it sees a space or enter

use gets or fgets

for the count problem there is a command--->strlen

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

#define LEGAL 1 

#include <string.h>



void count(char array[]);



int main(){

    char line[100];

    printf("Hey user enter some lines : ");

    gets(line);

    count(line);

    getchar();

    return(0);

}

/* FUNCTION count */



void count(char array[]){ 

    int z=strlen(array);        

    printf("%d\n",z);

}

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

#define LEGAL 1 



void count(char array[]);



int main()

{



   //char line[100];



  char* line = new char;



    printf("Hey user enter some lines : ");

   //scanf("%s",line);



   gets(line);



    count(line);

    return(0);

}

/* FUNCTION count */



void count(char array[])

{    

    char c;

    int x,z=0;

        /* Wat to do to count \n and \t and blanks */

            for(x = 0 ;(c = array[x]) != '\0' ; x++)

            {        

                z++;

            }            

    printf("%d\n",z);

}

Re: help wid a programme

fgets is better than gets because it specifies a maximum count and won't overflow the buffer. Use stdin for the file pointer. If the string ends with \n then that is all the user entered; if not, there is more and another call to fgets will pick up the next lot of characters.
