Then varying the condition the counted lines are on the display on the screen. In the end a method in end to close the file.

Problem Statement:

This is C Program to count out the lines on a file.

1. Declaring the variables.
2. Using control statements.
3. Display result on the screen.

Here is C source code for counting the lines on a file. The output of this program shown below. 

#include<stdio.h> 
 void main() 
 { 
      FILE *p; 
      char ch; 
      int l=1; 
      clrscr(); 
      p=fopen("source","r"); 
      if(p==NULL) 
          { 
                printf("File not Found"); 
          } 
         else 
          { 
                ch=fgetc(p); 
                while(ch!=EOF) 
                       { 
                           printf("%c",ch); 
                           if(ch=='\n') 
                            { 
                                 l++; 
                            } 
                                 ch=fgetc(p); 
                      } 
                                 printf("Lines in a file are= %d",l); 
          } 
                                 fclose(p); 
                                 getch(); 
 }
