[Dev-C++] Loops

[Gary L. <gar...@co...>]

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

 

main()

{

      long nc;

      

      nc=0;

      for (nc=0; getchar()!=EOF; ++nc);

      printf("%ld\n",nc);

      system("Pause");

      return 0;

}

 

No matter what loop option I try I have the same result. The loop does not
terminate when, after entering text, I press the enter key. The command
window hangs. The loop will not terminate to proceed to the rest of the
code.
