Hi, my code prints out the number of times a letter is typed. I can get it to print out the correct info, but when it deals with a white space, it will print out the list for every white space. how can I deal with this?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{//start main 1s
    char c;
    int i;
    int newstar[26]={0};
    int sum[26]={0};
    
    do
    {//start do 2s
start:
        c=cin.get();
        {//3s
            if(isalpha(c))
            c=tolower(c);
            {//4s
                for (i=97;i<123;i++)
                {//5s
                    if (c==(char)i)
                    {//6s
                        sum[c-97]++;
                        goto start;
                    }//6e
                }//5e
            }//4e
            for(int x=97;x<123;x++)
            {//7s
                newstar[x-97]=sum[x-97]*80/389;
                cout<<(char)x<<" "<<sum[x-97];
                for (int star=0; star<newstar[x-97]; star++)
                {//8s
                    cout<<"*";
                }//8e
                cout<<endl;
            }//7e
        }//3e
    }//end do 2e
    while (c != EOF);
}//end main 1e

have you try

if(!isspace)

between line 18 & 19?

have you try changing line 19 for line 20?

I still get the code repeating for every white space.

sorry I edit my comment while you reply
and sorry for saying that i was i bit sleepy

you were right to point out that for the isalpha function to work right, you need the next line to be what you want it to do. I am playing around with my code. I combined the for loops into each other. The problem is it prints out step by step for every char. any thoughts?

thank you

Humm...I coudnt compile gastoncis code. But try this T-Doog.

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

 

using namespace std;

 

int main()

	 {//start main 1s

		char c;

		int i;

		int newstar[26]={0};

		int sum[26]={0};

 

			

				do{//start do 2s
					start:
	
					c=cin.get();
					if(c == ' ')
					  {
						continue;
					  }
					 if(isalpha(c))

							c=tolower(c);

							 

								for (i=97;i<123;i++)

									{//5s

										if (c==(char)i)

										  {//6s

										    sum[c-97]++;

										    goto start;

										  }//6e

								        }//5e

					   		

						 for(int x=97;x<123;x++)
      				     		           {//7s

								newstar[x-97]=sum[x-97]*80/389;

							        cout<<(char)x<<" "<<sum[x-97];

								  for (int star=0; star<newstar[x-97]; star++)

								       {//8s

										cout<<"*";

								       }//8e

										cout<<endl;

							    }//7e
						}while(c != EOF);

					
				return 0;

	   }

thank you works great. I didn't know about "continue".
