Reading this code is a pain..Can you format the code properly and use the language specific code tags? Also please point the function where you are printing the contents.

I guess you can look at using the gnuplot library for simple graphs etc. i'm assuming you are working on *NIX

You don't need to create 3 threads for the same problem. 1 would be enough.

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.0\VC>test.exe
Input a string: she sells sea shells at the sea shore but the sea

Output:There are 10 words

That seems like a wrong output to me.

:) well its getting useless now, I'm sure with 'minor' changes we can achieve a lot with anything.

Mr. OP if you've got what you wanted, please close this thread now.

If the instructor hasn't explained the difference we can do, and that's why i pointed it out. It was more of a piece of info than anything else.



really?? Why don't you take his code, run it as...

Then you can first move the pointer to the starting of the first word.some thing like this


while (str[i++] == ' '); // move the pointer to starting of first word
while (str[i] !='\0')
{......

Also it will still tell you one less than the actual number of words in the sentence. Because you are counting the spaces not the words. eg

Sentence-> I am a good boy
spaces-> 4, word_count = 4...

malloc returns a void* to the memory allocated and you need to ensure that you type cast it to the correct type.

hasta la vista baby

They are declared in the parameter list so that you can pass address to the function. if you declare them as local variables inside the function how will you pass the address of the variables to that...

I assumed you needed multiple files open at the same time, for above requirement AD has already given you the code. Go through it.

or else you can use an array of FILE* if you want to use them elsewhere in the program. or write a structure with elements as FILE* and filename and use an array of that structure.

what is this? what do you want us to do with this? I'm pretty sure this doesn't work.

It all boils down to understanding how arrays are stored in memory and how we access each element of an array.

arrays are stored sequentially in memory. So lets say you declare and array of 5...

And please check for succesful allocation and if yes then dont fgt to free this block of memory once you'r done

malloc allocates memory and returns a pointer to the beginning of that block of memory. You need to assign it to some pointer not an object as you are doing here. Change that to pointer and it...

but you needed to re-insert the 84 char string again into the new string..rt?

whats the error that you're getting??

for array of structure say
