I run this code :

int main () {
    long numberofchar; 
    numberofchar = 0;
    while (getchar() != EOF)
       ++numberofchar;
    printf("Number of characters : %ld\n",numberofchar);

}

Result : I can type some characters on the console , but It doesn't count the character at all and neither does it print the number of characters on the screen.

So your question is basically, how to input EOF? – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Mar 19 '17 at 11:24

Input EOF to your program. Then the loop will end, and the printing will occur... – StoryTeller - Unslander Monica Mar 19 '17 at 11:26

...and in case you are hitting the `Enter` key, replace `EOF` with `'\n'` – babon Mar 19 '17 at 12:40
