Question

Write a program in main.c that reads the file lorum.txt and counts the number of characters on each line. Your program should create a file named count.txt. The contents of count.txt will contain the character count you computed for each line in lorum.txt. For each line in lorum.txt, your count.txt file must contain a line in the following format: linenumber: number_of_characters The character count for a line should not include the "newline character" (\n).

Answer 1

Answer:

A C programming language was used to write a file lorum.txt and counts the number of characters on each line.

Explanation:

Raw_Code :

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

  FILE *read,*write;       //creating file pointers

  int line=1,count=0;

  char ch;

  read = fopen("lorum.txt","r");   //opening files to read and write

  write = fopen("count.txt","w");

  while((ch = getc(read))!=EOF){       //reading lines until end of the file

      if(ch == '\n'){                   //if new line character encountred

          fprintf(write,"%d: %d\n",line,count);       //Then printing count of that line to file  

          line++;                       //incrementing the count of lines

          count = 0;                   //making characters count to 0

      }

      else{

          count++;           //if it is not new line character then increasing character count

      }

  }

  fprintf(write,"%d: %d",line,count);   //writing last lines count to count.txt

  fclose(read);

  fclose(write);

  return 0;

}
