Question
I'm trying to write a C++ program where the number of characters in each word of a text file is counted. I'm having trouble defining in my loop exactly when a word begins and ends (using characters). How can I reword this loop so that it recognizes a word and adds the number of characters in it to the variable called "word?" Here's what I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
ifstream fin("file.txt");
int word=0;
char ch;
while(fin && ch!= '.'){
if(ch==' ' || ch==' ')
word++;
//It is wrong because some of the text may have large portions of blank spaces which, by this loop, would be counted as chars in a word. Please explain all steps in logic.
Explanation / Answer
//main.cpp
