     Explains logic of a program which inputs a file name and displays number of Characters, Blanks, tabs and Lines in it with only a few lines of code. As simple as creating some loops with decisions.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

Includes files necassary for the program to work. "stdio.h" for standard input/output functions such as printf(), scanf() etc. and "fcntl.h" for file handling functions such as fopen()

int main()
{
Declaration of function main().


char ch;
int nol=0,not=0,nob=0,noc=0;
Variables include number of lines, number of tabs, number of blanks and number of characters


FILE *fp;
Declaring a pointer variable for file handling use.

char name[20];
Declaring a string to use for file name.

printf("Enter File Name:");
Displaying a prompt for user saying "Enter File Name:"

gets(name);
Inputting file name in form of string

fp=fopen(name,"r");
Opening a file based on filename in write mode (r) and issuing it to pointer fp

if(fp==NULL)
{
printf("\nCannot open file\n");
goto programend;
}

If file cannot be opened (thus returning fp as NULL) display "Cannot open file" and goto end of program which is displayed after file usage. (exit function can be used here but that would make things complicated)

while(1)
{
Using an infinite loop, it will keep repeating forever until we make it break out of loop.

ch=fgetc(fp);
Character variable we defined earlier in the beginning of main function is assigned the value of current character cursor is on (or under consideration in other words).

if(ch==EOF) break;
If current character under consideration is End Of File (meaning file's end has came), break out of infinite loop thus going to end of program.

noc++;
Passed above conditions, now value number of characters is increased by 1
if(ch==' ') nob++;
if current character is space/blank, value number of blanks is increased by 1
if(ch=='\n') nol++;
if current character is new line character, value number of lines is increased by 1
if(ch=='\t') not++;
if current character is tab character, value number of tabs is increased by 1
}


fclose(fp);
Close opened file

printf("\nChracters=%d \nBlanks=%d \nTabs=%d \nLines=%d \n", noc, nob, not, nol);
Display our calculations

programend:
The point of program end. if anywhere in the program it is said that goto programend; the program will jump here.

return (0);
Beginners don't need to understand this, for advanced users main function returns nothing.

}
Main function closes here.

Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses,but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:
1)Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2)NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com
