CIS 71 (section 1): Homework 8
Handed out: 3/18/97
Due: by 2:30pm on 4/1/97
Write a program that does the same as the Unix utility
wc. That is, given the name of a (text) file,
it prints out the number of lines, words, and characters in that file.
A line is defined as a sequence of characters terminated by '\n' or by the
end of file.
A word is defined as a sequence of non-blank characters that is delimited
by blank characters.
Suppose that you have compiled your program hmw8.c into the file a.out,
then you would execute:
% a.out hmw8.c
and your program would say how many lines, words, and characters are in hmw8.c.
For example,
27 138 473
