Hi sibat! Welcome to bytes.com!

To read a line of input up to a '\n' character, use getline.

To count the characters, words, sentences, etc. you should know, what characters a word or a sentence can be finished with (so, what character comes next?) and a that string is a char array which ends with a binary 0 ('\0').

That should be enough for you to solve the task yourself.

Greetings,

Hi Sibat,
You can use some buffer array with ur maximum size of characters and get ur input using gets something like that in the array....
You can check whether the buffer value is \n if so count it as new line, and do all the comparisions u need...
I think this might work......

Priya
