Answer 1

Considering what's asked in the question, I have also made sure that the program runs smooth in case of various tabs, spaces as well as when they're clubbed together to form various combinations! Here's my code,

int c, flag = 1;
    printf("Enter the character!\n");
    while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
    if (c == ' '||c == '\t') {
        c=getchar();
        while(c == ' '|| c == '\t')
               {
                   c = getchar();
               }
        putchar(' ');
        if (c == EOF) break;
    }
    putchar(c);
}

Feel free to run all test cases using various combinations of spaces and tabs.
