Number of words in a string

[Keane 16]

//Count number of words.

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

#include<stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

void main()

{

clrscr();

char s[100];

int len,i,space,letter;

gets(s);

len=strlen(s);

for(i=0; i<=len; i++)

{

if(s==0)

space++;

else

letter++;

}

cout<<"Number of words= "<<space+1<<endl;

cout<<"Number of letters = "<<letter<<endl;

getch();

}

What's wrong with the prog ???? :S

Akshit, for this you need to count the spaces, not null characters.

Bumpppppppp.

Yeah.

ascii 0 = null charactor, not space.

If you need to search space....modify your test condition.

if(s[i]==' ')

and thank my sister for this :bleh:

also , you forgot to initialize the vars... always....ALWAYS initialize... also, your loop seems flawed.. thats why the

len=strlen(s)-1

If it were me , i would have done a do while to check for s! = '/0'
