Question

Write a program that reads characters from the keyboard until a period is received. Have the program count the number of spaces. Report the total at the end of the program.

Vulpes · Answer

When dealing with character by character input, it's best to use Console.ReadKey rather than Console.Read. This should work: using System; class Program { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Please write as much as you want, when you finish type '.'."); char ch; int count = 0; while(true) { ch = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar; if (ch == '.') break; if (ch == ' ') count++; } Console.WriteLine("
You entered {0} space(s)", count); Console.ReadKey(); } }

Okay. Thank you for your explanation.

Vulpes · Answer

That's correct, Maha. It's counting the number of spaces entered which is what the question asked.

Program is not counting the characters typed in. Following is the output. Please write as much as you want, when you finish type '.'. #@$%%#%%#$#@#egetretergdfgdfgsdgsdg. You entered 0 space(s)

My work so far... string ch = "."; Console.Write("Please write as much as you want, when you finish type '.'."); string input = Convert.ToString(Console.Read()); while (ch != input) { for (int index = 0; ; index++) { Console.WriteLine("You have typed {0} characters", input.LongCount } }
