i made a thing to convert fareheit to cels

but in the example he got 2 numbers that are different

but veryy close

heres the code

    int number_of_entries;
    char numbers[200] = {};
    char *Numbers = numbers;
    int sum = 0;
    printf("How many Numbers would you like to convert? \n");
    scanf("%d", &number_of_entries);

    printf("Please enter the numbers you would like to convert: ");
    getchar();

    fgets(numbers, 200, stdin);

    int arrayNumbers[number_of_entries];

    for(int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) {
            int fare = strtol(Numbers, &Numbers, 10);
            int cels;
            arrayNumbers[i] = fare;
            cels = ((arrayNumbers[i] - 32) * 5.0/9.0);

            printf("Cels: %d \n", cels);

    }

    return 0;
}

I am using the formula from F-> C

(x- 32 )* 5/9

[inner jewel]

you may want to round the formula's output so it does not get truncated before assigning it to cels

[restive nova]

@idle brook ill try it

[inner jewel]

im a different james but

[restive nova]

whoops

my b

how do you get roles in this discord

btw

[inner jewel]

i'm just being funny its fine

[inner jewel]

#rules

[thorny quarry]

help out other people with their problems 🙂

[restive nova]

i meant like beginner

etc

[thorny quarry]

i know

[inner jewel]

react to the 📖 in #rules

[restive nova]

also

i rounded up

but still some are off

[thorny quarry]

in order to get a better role than "beginner" you have to demonstrate expertise by helping out other people with their problems

[restive nova]

i just want beginner

lol

[thorny quarry]

then. do what james said

and read the rules

[restive nova]

okayy

you think you can help me with this issue

i think im using the right formula

i just dont know why those 2 numbers are different

            roundedCels = ceil(cels);```

and i did round it

up

too

[thorny quarry]

converting a number to int rounds it toward 0

so (int) 75.6 is 75

[restive nova]

should i do long

[thorny quarry]

converting a number to long rounds it toward 0

[restive nova]

double?

double i decimal

rright

[inner jewel]

you want to round the value before it is assigned to cels because that's when truncating happens

[restive nova]

is

int fare = strtol(Numbers, &Numbers, 10);

so im guessing i change this from int to double

[thorny quarry]

no, please stop guessin

[restive nova]

im not guessing

[thorny quarry]

like don't just throw out type names pls

yes you are

[restive nova]

ik double is decimal

so why wouldn't decimal be good

in this scenario

[thorny quarry]

strtol returns long

[restive nova]

oh

but you said long rounds towards 0

[thorny quarry]

ok please stop for 1 second

[restive nova]

ight

[thorny quarry]

converting a number to int, long etc rounds it toward 0, and assigning a value to an int rounds it

so cels = ((arrayNumbers[i] - 32) * 5.0/9.0); converts (arrayNumbers[i] - 32) * 5.0/9.0 to int and rounds toward 0

[restive nova]

gotcha

[thorny quarry]

so if arrayNumbers[i] is 168 then 75.555555555556 rounds to 75

and then

ceil(cels) is ceil(75)

which is already rounded

[restive nova]

so rounding a rounded number

pretty much

[thorny quarry]

you don't want to do ceil though

[restive nova]

i forgot which one rounded accurately but i know ceil rounds up

[inner jewel]

ceil always rounds up

[restive nova]

and floor rounds down

[inner jewel]

use round()

[thorny quarry]

most likely what you want is cels = round((arrayNumbers[i] - 32) * 5.0/9.0);

[restive nova]

oh

[thorny quarry]

you don't haveto change the type of anything

[restive nova]

so does the round take into fact first before rounding 0

ig cuz left to right

[inner jewel]

the value that is stored in cels is truncated

[thorny quarry]

"The round functions round their argument to the nearest integer value in floating-point format, rounding halfway cases away from zero"

[restive nova]

ah

it worked

thanks guys

[inner jewel]

👍

[restive nova]

whoever that girl is

[tardy zealot]

@restive nova Has your question been resolved? If so, run !solved :)

[restive nova]

!solved

[tardy zealot]

Thank you and let us know if you have any more questions!

This thread is now set to auto-hide after an hour of inactivity

[restive nova]

hey I have another question.

im trying to use fgets to gather information

but the problem is if i go over 20 for the character limit

it just lags my command prompt

        scanf("%s", data);
        fgets(data, 200, stdin);
        getchar();
        printf("your data is: %s\n", data);```

im trying to do 200

so if i enter " ffghfgh fgh fgh fgh fgh fgh fgh " it prints it

[thorny quarry]

i don't think that's the problem

i think you meant to put getchar before fgets

[restive nova]

ah. worked

thanks

[restive nova]

one more thing, it just skips the first input. if i do 'a b c d' it just does 'b c d'

i tried moving around the getChar but nothing

[thorny quarry]

no, scanf took the first input

[restive nova]

how do i get it back from scanf

[thorny quarry]

[restive nova]

im new

lmao

i know scanf only reads the first input

thats why im using fgets

i didnt know it takes it tho

good to know

anyways

should i not use scanf at all then

[thorny quarry]

yes, i think you can just remove scanf and getchar from that program

[thorny quarry]

generally speaking, that's how input works

anything that reads input also "takes" it

[restive nova]

ah

okay it worked yea

[tardy zealot]

You can only open threads you own

[restive nova]

if i have an array

like

char data[] = { a b c d e }

can i print it like

%s, data[0]

to get a

[thorny quarry]

either putchar( data[0] )

or printf("%c", data[0])

[restive nova]

okay

%c worked

but in my notes i have

%c" when scanning for operators (+-/*).

i guess i meant single characters

not operators

[inner jewel]

%c is for char

[restive nova]

got it

[thorny quarry]

stdio is originally designed to work on tapes

literal magnetic tapes

this fucking thing

that's why it reads things sequentially and has a "rewind" function

[restive nova]

what does stdio do

[thorny quarry]

records and plays back characters on tape access files

[restive nova]

ah

this may sound really dumb but why is this for loop only printing the first value if i did i++

        getchar();
        fgets(data, sizeof(data), stdin);

        printf("The %dth slot has a value of %c\n", i, data[i]);

    }```

if data equals "f f f f"

shouldn't it print

the 0th slot is f

the 1th slot is f

etc

(4 is the number of entries)

[thorny quarry]

if number_of_entries is 4 then it will wait for you to input four lines

and tell you the n'th entry of each separate line

i don't think fgets belongs in that loop

and i don't think getchar belongs anywhere

is that the same getchar i told you to get rid of?

[restive nova]

you told me to put it on top

[thorny quarry]

yeah, because of the scanf

and then you complained that scanf was taking input

[restive nova]

then how do i get it to repeat

with 1 line

[thorny quarry]

so i said ^

[restive nova]

oh i was mistaken then

[thorny quarry]

if you don't want it to repeat then don't put it in the loop

[restive nova]

no i do

like i have

char array { a b c d}

and then print the 0th slot is a

[thorny quarry]

if you don't want fgets to happen four times

[restive nova]

the 1th slot is b

[thorny quarry]

then don't put fgets in the loop that happens four times

[restive nova]

ill take it all out of the loop

except the print

now its doing this

{

    int number_of_entries;
    char data[200] = {};
    printf("How many entries will you have? ");
    scanf("%d", &number_of_entries);

    printf("Enter your data: ");
    getchar();
    fgets(data, sizeof(data), stdin);
        printf("your data is: %s\n", data);


    for (int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) {

        printf("The %dth slot has a value of %c\n", i, data[i]);

    }
    return 0;
}

[thorny quarry]

if data equals "f f f f" then it will say The 1th slot has a value of

because there's a between the f and the f

[restive nova]

how do i make it insert a comma

into the array

or is there a better way

[thorny quarry]

better way to do what? can you please be a little more specific about what you want

[restive nova]

so if my array is " a b c d"

i just want to be able to access things better

and if i can just do array[0,1,2,33,...]

[thorny quarry]

that's about as unspecific as you could possibly be

[restive nova]

yk what im saying

[thorny quarry]

no i do not know what you're saying

[restive nova]

hmm

[thorny quarry]

so if your array is "a b c d" then you just want to access things better

[restive nova]

how do i say this

lol

it sounds dumb

reading it

so my end goal is to take random groups of letters

and print out how many vowels there are

but im doing it inch by inch

input values: fghfghfgh fghfghfghfg fghfghfghf fghfgh

output: 0 0 0 0

since 0 vowels

but i want to try to figure that part out myself

i just dont know how to access each specific group of letters

[thorny quarry]

don't shoot me, but

you could read with scanf instead of fgets

note that i said "instead of" and not "before" or "after"

[restive nova]

i thought scanf only does the first grouping

[thorny quarry]

yeah, and then the next scanf does the next one

[restive nova]

oh in a for loop

ur sayiyng

but doesn't there need to be a comma in between them or no

[thorny quarry]

no, there doesn't need to be a comma

[thorny quarry]

you can also use fgets and then strtok. in that case you would not use scanf

[restive nova]

    {

        scanf("%s", data);

        printf("The %dth slot has a value of %c\n", i, data[i]);

    }```

like this?

[thorny quarry]

no

[thorny quarry]

that would give you the first letter of the first word, then wait for you to put in the second word, and give you the second letter of the second word

[restive nova]

how would i make it do the whole word then the next word

[thorny quarry]

okay, can we stop and take a step back for a moment

[restive nova]

yyep

[thorny quarry]

so you want to read one whole line

[restive nova]

correct

[thorny quarry]

then split it into words

[restive nova]

spaces split them

yea

[thorny quarry]

and then print the number of vowels in each word

[restive nova]

wait sorry there could be more than one line too

abracadabra
pear tree
o a kak ushakov lil vo kashu kakao
my pyx

answer:
5 4 13 2

this is the example

but i dont want you to spoon feed me just kinda point me in the right direction

if posssible

[thorny quarry]

ok, so you don't actually want to split this into words

[restive nova]

its not like im doing homework or anything its just for my own benefit

[restive nova]

right

[thorny quarry]

because you want o a kak ushakov lil vo kashu kakao to give you 13 and not 1 1 1 3 1 1 2 3

[restive nova]

correct

[thorny quarry]

so i am guessing that you just want to read however many lines it gives you, right?

[restive nova]

so first its going to ask how many lines are there

and then ill just put 4

for the example

then copy and paste that whole thing

abracadabra
pear tree
o a kak ushakov lil vo kashu kakao
my pyx

and then print out the vowels

still not really sure to do like if data.contains("a" , "e" "i" "o" "u" etc

ik in java

its .contains

for arrays

but idk in C

[thorny quarry]

that isn't what you want

the way to do "contains" would be strstr or strchr

but that would only tell you whether there is an a

and you want to know how many

[restive nova]

can't we make an array for integers and everytime we get a vowel

we add 1

to it

in the for loop

[thorny quarry]

sure. why an array, though?

[restive nova]

ig just an integer

ur right

a different integer

per line

so like int first

wait no that isn't a good idea

cuz

the real problem is 17 lines

so theres probably a better way to do it

im just trying to think out loud here because im not really sure

i was looking at this example

[thorny quarry]

so, coming back to finding letters in the line:

  char data[200];
  for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    fgets(data, 200, stdin);
    int n_letters = strlen(data);
    for (int x = 0; x < n_letters; x++) {
      if (data[x] == 'a') puts("found a");
    }
  }

[restive nova]

#include <string.h>


int main () {
   const char haystack[20] = "TutorialsPoint";
   const char needle[10] = "Point";
   char *ret;

   ret = strstr(haystack, needle);

   printf("The substring is: %s\n", ret);
   
   return(0);
}```

[thorny quarry]

you don't want to use strstr here

it can tell you whether there's an a in the line

but not how many

[restive nova]

ah

#include <string.h>
int main()
{
    char a[20]="Program";
    char b[20]={'P','r','o','g','r','a','m','\0'};

    // using the %zu format specifier to print size_t
    printf("Length of string a = %zu \n",strlen(a));
    printf("Length of string b = %zu \n",strlen(b));

    return 0;
}```

Length of string b = 7```

so strlen

can count all the letters

thats good

[thorny quarry]

^

[restive nova]

so nletters = the number of letters in data

or characters

[thorny quarry]

number of characters

[restive nova]

looking at this line if (data[x] == 'a') puts("found a");

ive never seen "puts" before

[thorny quarry]

puts(x) is the same as printf("%s\n", x)

just saves a little typing

[restive nova]

really?

bro

i never knew that

cuz in python

its just print(x)

anyways

[thorny quarry]

probably you don't want to print "found a" anyway

you want to count it

and you want to check for the other vowels too

[restive nova]

yea

one step at a time

its good

if (data[x] == 'a') puts("found a");

this is basically sayying

if the 0th slot == a put a

ig grouuping doesn't matter

because obviously doesn't contain a vowel

so we can just do line by line

[thorny quarry]

right

[restive nova]

is this not optimal

lol

[thorny quarry]

there is actually a trick you can do here

if (strchr("aeiou", data[x]))

which is like if "aeiou".contains data[x]

[restive nova]

what does strchr do

[thorny quarry]

note that it's strchr and not strstr

[thorny quarry]

if "aeiou".contains data[x]

[restive nova]

the order doesn't matter though right

it can just be anywhere

[thorny quarry]

right, because aeiou and oiaeu both contain a

[restive nova]

so for now

i was doing this

                        if (strchr("aeiouy", data[x])) {

                        printf("Got a vowel\n");

                    } else {

                        printf("No vowels.");
                    }

but before even giving the input

it just automatically says no vowels

i //'d it out

and the if statement works

so that is good

now we just need to tally them up

[thorny quarry]

can you please show me the whole thing

[restive nova]

this is it right now

actually i just moved this printf("Total Numbers: %d ", total_letters);

out of the if statement

[tardy zealot]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
  int number_of_entries;

  char data[200] = {};
  printf("How many lines  will you have? ");
  scanf("%d", &number_of_entries);

  printf("Enter your data: ");

  for (int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) {
    fgets(data, 200, stdin);
    int total_letters = strlen(data);
    for (int x = 0; x < total_letters; x++) {
      if (strchr("aeiouy", data[x])) {
        printf("Total Numbers: %d ", total_letters);
      }
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

joeyy

[thorny quarry]

so, the stuff in for (int i happens for each line

and the stuff in for (int x happens for each letter

[restive nova]

and x is each letter

right

yea

i got that

[thorny quarry]

(or really each character)

and you want to count the vowels in each line

so that count should be inside for (int i

but not inside for (int x

[restive nova]

before we do that i just have one question

[thorny quarry]

sure

[restive nova]

I put the printf("Total Numbers: %d ", total_letters);

here ill just send an updated thing

;format

[stuck orchid]

Critical error:

Unable to find code to format!

Please reply to a message when executing this command or supply the code yourself in a code block or message attachment.

Requested by: joeyy#1992

[thorny quarry]

again, you want to do that for each line but not each letter

so it should be inside for i

but not inside for x

[restive nova]

yyea

it is

[thorny quarry]

and if you want to print how many vowels you counted you should do it after counting them, not before

[restive nova]

ik i just wanted to make sure

the counter worked

so when you run the code

and it says

how many lines

and yoyu enter

it automatically sayys total number 1:

im just wondering how to get it to wait

until after you input "Enter your data:"

[thorny quarry]

you are getting bit by mixing scanf and fgets

[restive nova]

ik fgets does the whole string

but scanf only does whatever is before the space

[thorny quarry]

fgets goes until '\n' (return/enter key)

which is a space

so scanf doesn't take it

[restive nova]

ok

[thorny quarry]

if you type 2<enter>hello<enter> then
scanf reads "2"
first fgets reads "<enter>"
second fgets reads "hello<enter>"

[tardy zealot]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
  int number_of_entries;

  char data[200] = {};
  printf("How many lines  will you have? ");
  scanf("%d", &number_of_entries);

  printf("Enter your data: ");

  for (int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) {
    fgets(data, 200, stdin);
    int total_letters = strlen(data);
    printf("Total Numbers: %d ", total_letters);

    for (int x = 0; x < total_letters; x++) {
      if (strchr("aeiouy", data[x])) {
        // add now
      }
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

joeyy

[restive nova]

okay

[thorny quarry]

you can put a scanf("\n") or getchar() after "enter your data"

[restive nova]

scanf is adding a space?

[thorny quarry]

no, it isn't

[restive nova]

then why does it automatically \n

[thorny quarry]

it doesn't

YOU are the one who pressed the enter key

[restive nova]

yea but thats way before

[thorny quarry]

i'm not sure why you're fighting me on this

[restive nova]

im not im just trying to understand

xD

[thorny quarry]

when you type "4<enter>" it goes "on the tape" and stays until scanf or fgets takes it

[restive nova]

really?

why does it do that

its like its logging my enter

and then getchar takes it away

is C the only language that does that

[thorny quarry]

no, python actually does that too

[restive nova]

damn

[thorny quarry]

you probably never dealt with bytewise i/o enough to notice

[restive nova]

so whats the difference between fgets and scanf then if the enter is always on the table

or on the tape

[thorny quarry]

fgets reads a line, including the <enter> at the end of it

scanf reads a word or number, not including anything after it (but potentially including some space before it)

[restive nova]

gotcha

does scanf read the <enter> from before

oh

u edited

[thorny quarry]

yep so

[restive nova]

wdym some space tho

[thorny quarry]

if you type 1<enter>2<enter>3<enter> and read it with scanf
first scanf will read just "1"
second scanf will read "<enter>2"
third will read "<enter>3"

"<enter>2" is the same as "2" but scanf does in fact read the <enter>

scanf is a bit wonky and it becomes obvious when you try to mix scanf with fgets

because fgets assumes you are working with lines

and scanf doesn't

[restive nova]

ok

back to the vowel situation

[thorny quarry]

sure

[restive nova]

so right now its almost done

it gets all the characters per line

so now we just use the strchr

aeiouy

thing

so how would i go about doing htat

obviously in here

        {



            if (strchr("aeiouy", data[x]))
            {

            // add now
            }

        }

int total_vowels = total_vowels+ 1;

is that good

[thorny quarry]

no

[restive nova]

damn

ok

lol

[thorny quarry]

int total_vowels means you're starting a new variable

and total_vowels = total_vowels+ 1; sounds like you're modifying an existing variable

[restive nova]

i need to declare it outside

right

[thorny quarry]

right

[restive nova]

total_vowels++;

[thorny quarry]

you want to do vowels = 0 each line

[restive nova]

so in the i loop

[thorny quarry]

and if ... vowels++ each character

[restive nova]

int total_vowels = 0;
in the i loop

total_vowels++

in the if statement in the x loop

[thorny quarry]

yea

[restive nova]

where would i print printf("Total Vowels: %d ", total_vowels);

i thought it would be outside the character inside the line

[thorny quarry]

once per line, after you've finished counting the vowels

therefore in the "i" loop and after the "x" loop

[restive nova]

ok

it worked

[tardy zealot]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
  int number_of_entries;

  char data[200] = {};
  printf("How many lines  will you have? ");
  scanf("%d", &number_of_entries);

  printf("Enter your data: ");
  getchar();

  for (int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) {
    fgets(data, 200, stdin);
    int total_letters = strlen(data);
    int total_vowels = 0;

    printf("Total Numbers: %d ", total_letters);

    for (int x = 0; x < total_letters; x++) {
      if (strchr("aeiouy", data[x])) {
        total_vowels++;
      }
    }

    printf("Total Vowels: %d ", total_vowels);
  }
  return 0;
}

joeyy

[restive nova]

how do i make it wait until all the lines are stated

before giving me the total vowels

rn it says it after each line

i just want it to say the total vowels at the end

per line

like 2 4 5 2

[thorny quarry]

you would probably need to store it in an array instead of printing it right away

[restive nova]

because then it would add them all

im gonna try the array

myself

ill let you know how it goes

[thorny quarry]

ok, good luck

[restive nova]

thanks

[thorny quarry]

is this a task from the website?

5 4 13 2

this is what they want

step1: int vowels[number_of_entries] = {}; this goes outside both loops

step 2; this goes inside the x loop

vowels[i] + 1;

no?

[thorny quarry]

you accidentally the verb

[restive nova]

i thought so hard onn that part

lol

because im taking the ith line

and adding one to it

no?

[thorny quarry]

did you mean vowels[i] += 1

otherwise vowels[i] + 1; is just 0 + 1;

[restive nova]

i want to take the number of vowels in the ith slot and add 1

oh right

[thorny quarry]

... and store the result in the i'th slot, right?

[restive nova]

+= is the same as vowels[i] = vowlels[i] + 1

[restive nova]

right

okay

step 3

this is where im confused

how do i print the whole array

at once

printf("Total Vowels: %d ", vowels[???]);

what does in there

g

[thorny quarry]

for (int i = 0; i < number_of_entries; i++) printf("Total Vowels: %d ", vowels[i]);

[restive nova]

it goes in the i loop?

[thorny quarry]

nooo

give it its own loop

but... i don't think you are supposed to say Total Vowels : 5 Total Vowels : 4 Total Vowels : 13 Total Vowels : 2

[restive nova]

ik

just %d

but im confused

on making its own loop

wouldn't that just print it more than once

oh

im dumb

thats what we want

we want it to print the whole thing

so this loop will print every slot in the array

ur so smart

1 issue

    int vowels[number_of_entries] = {};

it says numbers_of_entries

isn't initialized

for the vowels part

how would it not be initiliazed

if it gets the answer right there

in the circle

😕

[thorny quarry]

if scanf("%d", &number_of_entries) failed, number_of_entries would not be initialised

[restive nova]

yea

but why can't it just wing it

and hope it doesn't?

[thorny quarry]

[restive nova]

lol

so what should i do

u think

just put like 20

or 100

or something

i mean it doesn't really matter

i just thought it would be cool to match the size exactly

[thorny quarry]

the "right" thing to do is actually test whether scanf succeeds

but if it isn't going to fail then you can just get away with putting 1

[restive nova]

if i put 1 then wouldn't it stay at 1

and then nothing else would save?

[thorny quarry]

no, it won't stay at 1

not if scanf succeeds

[restive nova]

so change it from

int vowels[number_of_entries] = {};

to

int vowels[1] = {};

[thorny quarry]

no

[restive nova]

oh

i see

int number_of_entries = 1;

[thorny quarry]

yeah, so that it's initialised

[restive nova]

ah

lets see if it works

🙂

wait same thing

i even did 10

@thorny quarry do you know why

same error

also what IDE do you use

im using code blocks rn

tried VSC but it was being weird

[thorny quarry]

i don't use an ide

[restive nova]

what do u use

[thorny quarry]

it should tell you which line

[restive nova]

int vowels[number_of_entries] = {};

this line

[thorny quarry]

compiler and text editor

[restive nova]

ah

code block is chill

im prob gonna keep using it

[restive nova]

red quare line 8 on the left

square

[thorny quarry]

those two lines should not produce that error

[restive nova]

thats what im saying

[thorny quarry]

are there any other lines in the program?

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()

    int number_of_entries = 1;
    int vowels[number_of_entries] = {};

try compile C 5 then 5 lines

does it error on ur compiler

or nah

[thorny quarry]

why did you move int vowels[number_of_entries] = {}; before scanf

[restive nova]

did i

whoops

still the same error though

[thorny quarry]

the error i get is "variable length array cannot be initialised"

[restive nova]

hmm

what does that mean

[thorny quarry]

it means you can have
int vowels[number_of_entries];
or
int vowels[100] = {0};
but not
int vowels[number_of_entries] = {0};

[restive nova]

does it matter which one i use

from the top 2

[thorny quarry]

yes, it matters

[restive nova]

i chose the first one

lol

[thorny quarry]

well that's bad

[restive nova]

guess how many vowels

i did

per line

lol

[thorny quarry]

i was going to say

the reason it matters

int vowels[number_of_entries]; will be uninitialised

[restive nova]

ah

int vowels[100] = {0};
is the same as
int vowels[100] = {};

?

or nah

[thorny quarry]

technically int vowels[100] = {}; is not allowed.

[thorny quarry]

they are the same, except int vowels[100] = {}; won't work sometimes

[restive nova]

it worked

[restive nova]

what does the 0 do

[thorny quarry]

you just have to specify at least one value

int vowels[100] = {0}; is the same as int vowels[100] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,}; etc

[restive nova]

🙂

[restive nova]

its just not empty

are you curious how other people did this problemm in C?

#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
    char lineSymbols[70];
    char divider[2]=" ";
    char *istr;
    FILE *file;
    char *line;
    file = fopen("input.txt","r");
    if(file==NULL){
        puts("cannot open file");
    }
    while((line=fgets(lineSymbols,70,file))!=NULL){
        int i,count=0;
        for(i=0;i<(strlen(line));i++){
            if((*(line+i)=='a')||(*(line+i)=='o')||(*(line+i)=='u')||(*(line+i)=='i')||(*(line+i)=='e')||(*(line+i)=='y')){
                count++;
            }
        }


        printf("%i  \t",count);
        /*printf("%s \n ",line);*/
    }

            fclose(file);
        return (0);
}

he cheated

he put it in a file

why would he do this

he could of done what u did

lmao

anyways

time to go to sleep

thanks for helping me better understand this all
