How to find the lenght/number of characters entered in a c program?
#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;





int i;


i=strlen(user_enter_value);





The i variable will have it if you use standard input functions which terminate the string with '\0'. If not and you use a for loop with a getch() function then you have to have a counter,


int counter


for(counter=0;counter%26lt;max_value;counte...


{ user_enter_value[counter]=getch();


if (user_enter_value[counter]== '\12')


{break;}


}


.....


counter then has the string length.
Reply:is it null terminating... because you can make your own function like this





function int count_size(char[] word){


int count = 0;


while(word[0] != '/0'){


count++;


}


return count;


}





note... check to make sure that is null... you can also give it the char index for null if you wish .
