Horizontal histogram won't accept input after the first input
- by vincentbelkin
So I'm making a program which is supposed to print a horizontal histogram of the lengths of words in its input. I don't know if most of it is OK since the main problem is it won't accept any input after the first one. Oh I also put comments on the parts I'm having some trouble with, like how to print "-" multiple times in order to represent histogram. I've tried making other versions of the code but I couldn't check if I'm close to getting it because again it won't accept another input after the first input.
/*Write a program to print a histogram of the lengths of words in its input.
It is easy to draw the histogram with the bars horizontal*/
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 30
#define IN 1
#define OUT 0
int main()
{
int a,c,i,k,state,word[MAX];
a=0;
k=0;
state=OUT;
for(i=0;i<MAX;i++)
word[i]=0;
while((c=getchar())!=EOF)
{
if(c==' '||c=='\t'||c=='\n')
state=OUT;
else
state=IN;
while(state==IN)
a++;
if(state==OUT)
{
word[i]=a;
i++;
}
/*This part is hard for me, I don't know how to print X multiple times!*/
if((c==getchar())&&c==EOF)
{
for(i=0;i<MAX;i++)
{
for(i=0;i<=word[i];i++)
putchar('-');
putchar('\n');
}
}
}
}
