hi [mohit c]

I am unable to understand why 10 in the last line is printed. Please help...

Your input file has a blanck line (new line) after the the line 12sdfsldkfj i.e if the line of your input is 1, the blanck line is 2 remove it and you should be ok.

Or you test it, what is the ascii value for new line?

I am still not able to understand what my input should be like? I entered this input without any blank lines and still 10 which is the ASCII value for a new line is printed.

I ran your program and didn't get that problem. Here is the text file xx.txt that I used.
