count the number of lines, words, and characters within an input

Question

Right now I am going through a book on C and have come across an example in the book which I cannot get to work.

#include 
#define IN 1
#defin         


        

Answer 1

getchar() returns the input from the standard input. Start typing the text for which you want to have the word count and line count. Your input terminates when EOF is reached, which you do by hitting CTRL D.

CTRL D in this case acts as an End Of Transmission character.
