Chapter 12, Problem 1PC

Program Plan Intro

Word Counter

Program Plan:

• Include the required header files to the program.
• Define function prototype which is used in the program.
• Define the “main()” function.
  • Declare the required variables.
  • Get the input c-string from the user and call the function “word_count”.
  • Print the c-string words count.
  • Get the input string object from the user and call the function “word_count”.
  • Print the string object words count.
• Define the “word_count” function.
  • Declare the variable.
  • The “while” loop is used to count the number of words in that string.
    • The “while” loop is used to ignore the whitespaces.
    • The “if” condition is used to count the words.
    • The “while” loop is used to move to next word.
  • Finally return the words count to the main function.
• Define the “word_count” function.
  • Declare the variable.
  • Get the length of the string.
  • The “for” loop is used to count the number of words in that string object.
    • The “if” condition is used to ignore the whitespaces. Otherwise it is used count the words.
    • The “if” condition is used to determine the words.
  • Finally return the words count to the main function.
