hey im on pset2 readability. i cant seem to get the right output. it is supposed to show letters= and words= but its not

Question

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <string.h>

int count_letters(string text);
int count_words(string text);
int count_sentences(string text);

int main(void)
{
    // Get user input and count letters
    string Text = get_string("Text: ");
    int letters = strlen(Text);
    printf("letters = %d \n", letters);

    // Count words in input
    int n = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i< n; i++)
    {
       if (text[i] == ' ' && text[i+1] != ' ')
       {
           words++;
       }

       printf("words = %d \n". words);

    }
}

Answer 1

You are using n as a bounds for your loop in counting the words, but n was assigned the value 1. You would most certainly want to use letters instead. Given these problems I would suggest that you rewatch the lesson video. also you are comparing text[i] to '' which will never be true. This shouldn't even compile.

beyond that you need to make sure that your i+1 is still less than length as well.

suggest checking the five primary corner cases before moving on:

• text is a single word
• text starts with a space then a word
• text starts with a word ends with a space
• text has two words seperated by a space
• text has two words with a space before and after each
