Question

I’d like to find the number of character in each line using C program. It would work fine if I’m having single statement in a single line. But, if multiple statements means, it adds a 0 following it. How could I modify my code to achieve what I need? Thanks in advance.

fp=fopen("chumma.c","r");
while((c=getc(fp))!=EOF)
{
    cn++;
    if((c=='\n') || (c==';'))
    {
         if((cn-1)==0)
            em++;
        n++;
        printf("\nNo. of char in line %d : %d\n",n,(cn-1));
        ll[n-1]=cn-1;
        cn=0;
    }
}

Though the following code seems a little round about, yet it works. If anyone can simplify it, let me know. Thanks.

while((c=getc(fp))!=EOF)
{
  cn++;
  if(c==';')
  {
    n++;
    printf("\nNo. of char in line %d : %d\n",n,cn);
    ll[n-1]=cn;
    cn=0;
    flag=1;
  }

  if(c=='\n')
  {
    if(flag==1)
    {
      flag=0;
      cn--;
    }

    else{
      if((cn-1)==0)
         em++;
      n++;
      printf("\nNo. of char in line %d : %d\n",n,(cn-1));
      ll[n-1]=cn-1;
      cn=0;
    }
  }
}
