Program does not work the way specified in C (read the Comment)?
getchar() may be a macro.





The program works fine in my system (though after replacing stdafx.h with stdio.h so it runs in my Linux console), but when I do things like that I do the following:





/* ... */


int main()


{


long nc;


int ch;


nc = 0;


ch=getchar();


while(ch!=EOF) {


++nc;


ch=getchar();


}


printf("%ld\n", nc);


}

Uninstall and re-install your program.

Reply:I managed to get this to compile (Gentoo, current version, using GCC). However I changed the header files





You don't need stdafx.h, but you do need both stdio.h and stdlib.h. ie





#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;stdlib.h%26gt;
