Multiple functions

[cstudent1]

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with this. I need a program that counts char,vowels and words. I can get it to do all those things alone, but I am at a loss on how to make it all work together. Please help. Thanks! This is the program to count char, it works fine..... #include #include #define MAXNUM 1000 int countchar(char[]); int main() { char message [MAXNUM]; int numchar; printf("\nType in any number of characters : "); gets(message); numchar = countchar(message); printf("\nThe number of characters is %d",numchar); return 0; } int countchar(char list []) { int i, count = 0; for(i=0; list[i] != '\0'; i++) count++; return(count); } This is the program to count vowels, it worked fine until i tried to add the char count..... #include int main() { char str, line[150]; int i,v,c,ch,d,s,o,l, countchar, count, list; o=v=c=ch=l=d=s=0; printf("Enter a line of string:\n"); gets(line); for(i=0;line[i]!='\0';++i) { if(line[i]=='a' || line[i]=='e' || line[i]=='i' || line[i]=='o' || line[i]=='u' || line[i]=='A' || line[i]=='E' || line[i]=='I' || line[i]=='O' || line[i]=='U') ++v; } { int countchar(char list []) int i, count = 0; for(i=0; list[i] != '\0'; i++) count++; return(count); } printf("Vowels: %d",v); printf("characters %d",countchar); return 0; }

And what, pray, does that have to do with C#?

Your first problem is that this is C++ code and you have posted in the C# forum. However ... You should create all the separate functions to perform a specific action, and return the appropriate count. You then call each one from main passing the string to it. Something like:

int main()
{
int characterCount;
int vowelCount;
int digitCount;
// etc

char message \[MAXNUM\];

printf("\\nType in any number of characters : ");
gets(message);

characterCount = CountCharacters(message);
vowelCount = CountVowels(message);
digitCount = CountDigits(message);

// print the values

return 0;

}

Then you just have to write each function to do the counting and return the total.

This is supposed to be c code, I used my C book as the base of the code.Thanks for the tips. Can you help me with the counting? I think the problem I am running into is that I used i once for example when counting vowels and can not use it again when counting words. I'm really stuck here.

I am trying what you suggested and now I get the errors countChar can not be used as a function and, invalid types of int for array. I am really lost.

I would suggest you go back to your C reference and work slowly through the examples. If you do not understand the basics of writing functions then you are not going to get very far. Also, when you have further questions please use the C++ forum.
