Word Counting program not producing desired output

by

c=getchar()!= EOF is wrong. This will first call function getchar(). Then it will compare the return value with EOF. After that, the result of the comparison, which will be 1 or 0, will be assigned to c.

To avoid this, use (c=getchar()) != EOF instad.

Instead of the second if statement, use if(isspace(c)) (Thanks to Lundin for pointing it out)

You should also specify that main should return an int to avoid warnings.
