One comment on “K&R C Program Exercise 1-13

  • Hi…
    It's really a nice doing by sharing this kind of good programming solutions to learn from it….

    Here is 1 that I had written in attempt minimize the size , Hope that it would b helpful…
    ***************************************************

    #include
    #define IN 1 /* inside a word */
    #define OUT 0 /* outside a word */

    /* Exercise 1-13. 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; a vertical orientation is more challenging.
    */

    // VERTICAL ORIENTATION

    int main()
    {
    int c,nw, nc, state;
    int i,j; //Counters
    int nchar[100],maxlen=0; /*for holding peak value of no. of char; For max. lenght of a word*/
    state = OUT;
    nw = nc = 0;
    while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    {
    ++nc;

    if (c ==' ' || c =='n' || c =='t')
    {
    nc=nc-1;
    if(state == IN)
    {
    nchar[nw]=nc;
    if(nc > maxlen)
    maxlen = nc;
    nc=0;

    printf("nThe Histogram of the lengths of words:n");
    for(i=maxlen ; i>=0 ; i–)
