This C++ Program which counts the number of white-space characters in the file. The program creates an input file stream, reads a line on every iteration of a while loop, increments the count variable every time a white-space character (‘ ‘) or a tab-space character (‘\t’) is encountered and the count variable is printed on the screen.
Here is source code of the C++ program which counts the number of white-space characters in a file. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
/*
* C++ Program to Count the White-Spaced Characters in a File
*/
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
int main()
{
int count = 0;
std::string line;
std::ifstream file("main.cpp");
while (getline(file, line))
{
for (int i = 0; i < line.length(); i++)
{
if (line[i] == ' ' || line[i] == '\t')
count++;
}
}
std::cout << "Number of white-space characters"
<< " is " << count << "\n.";
return 0;
}
$ g++ main.cpp $ ./a.out Number of white-space characters is 155.
