    /*  shows the number of chars accepted in a sentence */

```
    count = i;
```

    printf("The given sentence is   : %s", sentence);

    printf("\n Case changed sentence is: ");

```
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
```
```
    {
```

        ch = islower(sentence[i])? toupper(sentence[i]) :

```
tolower(sentence[i]);
```
```
        putchar(ch);
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Program Explanation

1. Take an an English sentence as input and store it in the array sentence[].
2. Copy the last letter’s position in the array to the variable count.
3. Using for loop and (islower()? toupper():tolower()) function replace lowercase characters by uppercase & vice-versa. Store this in the variable ch.
4. Print the variable ch as output and exit.
