So I hope you got yourself some time to think about the solution, and now what I want us to do is to

start solving the exercise so we have to find down how many words.

Let's just point out these here.

And what was it?

Find out.

Find how many words there are in a string.

OK.

So the first thing that we were asked to do is to create to create a string.

So let's use something like this Charlot's year sentence.

OK.

So this will be a string.

Let's make it a size 30.

And basically, we declared an array of characters that will be used to hold a string.

So the next thing that we are going to do is we are going to print some nice message.

So to the user printer.

Please, please enter.

Enter.

Let's say a string, a string or some text string or some text.

And now what we are going to do is we are going to use the get this function to read the string from

the user.

So get us.

And here we will have ah, we will have what we will have.

The sentence itself.

Right.

Maybe you're more familiar with using CHA as the arm to create a string.

But this is just the name.

We will simply use it here.

So now once we've read the string from the user, from the console application, it will be stored inside

of this array of characters representing a string with a null character at the end of it.

And now what we are going to do is simply to assume let's just for the beginning, will there take the

text that we use there?

What was it?

Hi, my name.

Something like this.

My name is glad if I'm not mistaken.

So this was our previous text or a previous string.

And what we will assume that we have a what will be our separate.

There is this space and that we have one space between every word.

So this is kind of our assumption will also create two additional variables.

Let's call it something like count words, which will represent the number of words.

And we will specify that it will be zero and we will use an additional variable.

It's C I.

That will help us to iterate over each character in this string.

So we know that we can run are basically on these string.

Let's let's create something like this.

OK.

So let's also add in it.

No, no.

We don't need these and we just will use these for a loop.

So four equals two zero.

As long as I is less than then what then.

SDR land is your land of sentence.

OK.

So we know we will run from my equals to zero until the last time.

The backslash zero character.

And we will increment I by one on each iteration.

And we know that if we want to use the SDL in function we should include include the String Dodd H library

that we've just mentioned.

Now what we are going to do in these for a loop is simply to check where we have the space character.

So whenever we come across this space character, we will assume that a word that some word has ended

and a new word has started.

So we will simply do something like these will use this simple condition if sentence.

Sen.

Sen.

Dan's sentence at Index I.

So if a given character equals to a space character.

So in this case we are going to implement the count.

Words by one.

So count horse plus plus.

And this way what we are going to do is simply to either read over all of the string we've got from

the user and to count the number of the number of space characters in this string.

And based on this result, we will assume that though there will be these exact number of words.

So that PIN B will work.

OK.

But let's say it was just kind of our assumption that there will be just one space character.

But let's assume that that's the case.

And we will also we will also use here that print off-line to print the results of print print F on

the total amount, total amount of Maude's in percentage as equals to.

Are centage d backslash n in hearings that of percentages.

We are going to specify the sentence.

And instead of the percentage.

We are going to specify the count words.

OK.

The number of words in this string.

But the thing that interests us here is should we add additional last plus oken.

And the increment the count of words by one, because if suppose we were, we had only two words.

So it will look like this high mile, let's say.

And we will simply see that there is just one space character in this string.

So that's why we want to we know that there is a separator and meaning that it will count the one on

the left.

And also the one on the right.

So that's why we will use outside of the for a loop outside the slope.

We will use also the last incrimination by one.

So now we've we will print this result of the screen.

We will see the number of words in our text.

So let's try to build and run it.

So go here to the Beeld and Iran and let's say hi, my name.

My name is.

OK.

And we expect that the result will be five.

Right.

So we can see that if we write run this program.

Total amount of words in hi my name is Vlada equals to five.

Not exactly specified correctly.

Let's just do something like these.

I don't know, just use it to specify that this is our strength.

So let's build in running once again.

Hi.

My name is Vlad.

And let's see so we can see here that the total amount of water in hi my name is Vlad equals to five.

And that's exactly what we expected.

We expected to count the words based on this space separator that we know that a space character separates

between different words.

And what basically interests here, me and also probably you, is the fact that there is a lot of strings

that probably will not be so conventional and just use one space character like we counted here between

two different words.

So, for example, we may have a space at the beginning, for example.

This is our string, right?

Previously it was like this.

And I tell you that there isn't a chance that a string starts with the space character.

Right?

Maybe by mistake, maybe no.

And in this case, our program will not return the correct result.

And also, it may be on it at the end of the string.

OK.

You may have here a space character or maybe between two different words.

You may have a space character or two.

So this program, it works.

Okay.

If for for the basic case where you can assume that there is only one space character between two words

and a space character appears does not appear at the end or at the beginning of a string.

So basically what I want you to do is to upgrade, to develop some program, since you know how these

program works.

I want you to think of how would you upgrade these kind of simple program to support also these, let's

say, end end cases where you have to find out the number of words and where I can be, where there

can be a space character at the beginning, at the end, or maybe between them there will be, let's

say, multiple character space characters.

So how what what what would you change in this program?

So what will work?

Also for all cases.

So that's your task for today.

Your task is to develop this program and to try try different examples and make sure that it works as

expected.

That's how you will grow and that's how you will learn more about yourself, about your skills and about

how you tackled programs, problems in C programming language.

So thank you so much for watching, guys.

Keep on practicing and I'll see you in the next video.
