The document describes a C program that counts the number of characters, words, lines, and whitespace in a given input file. The program opens the file, initializes counting variables, and uses a while loop with fgetc() to iterate through the file character by character, incrementing the appropriate counter based on whether the character is a letter, space, newline, etc. It then prints the final counter values and closes the file. The output shows the counts for an input file called ss2.txt.

AIM : Write a C Program to count number of Characters, Words, lines
and Whitespace from the given input file.
Program :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
FILE * file;

char ch;
int characters, words, lines, whitespace;

file = fopen("ss2.txt", "r");

if (file == NULL)
{
printf("\nUnable to open file.\n");
printf("Please check if file exists and you have read privilege.\n");

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

characters = words = lines = whitespace = 0;


while ((ch = fgetc(file)) != EOF)
{
if (ch != ' ' && ch != '\n')
characters++;

if (ch == '\n' || ch == '\0')


lines++;

if (ch == ' ' || ch == '\t' || ch == '\n' || ch == '\0')


words++;

if (ch == ' ')


whitespace++;
}

if (characters > 0)
