So fix it. We're not the psychic friends network, here to solve all of you problems with a crystal ball and smile. You wrote the damn program (and it's very short!), so you should be able to figure out why it's not doing what you want.

I'll direct you here because you really need it.

Try adding this to your if statement:

if(str[i] == 'a')
			{
				a++;
			}
			else if(str[i] == 'b')
			{
				b++;
			}
			else if (str[i] == '\n')
			{
				//this will account for the newline
			}
			else
			{
				stop++;
			}
