Explanation / Answer

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
FILE *fp;
char filename[100];
char ch;
int linecount, wordcount, charcount;

// Initialize counter variables
linecount = 0;
wordcount = 0;
charcount = 0;

// Prompt user to enter filename
printf("Enter a filename :");
gets(filename);
  
// Open file in read-only mode
fp = fopen(filename,"r");

// If file opened successfully, then write the string to file
if ( fp )
{
   //Repeat until End Of File character is reached.  
   while ((ch=getc(fp)) != EOF) {
      // Increment character count if NOT new line or space
       if (ch != ' ' && ch != ' ') { ++charcount; }
      
       // Increment word count if new line or space character
       if (ch == ' ' || ch == ' ') { ++wordcount; }
         
       // Increment line count if new line character
       if (ch == ' ') { ++linecount; }
         

   }

   if (charcount > 0) {
       ++linecount;
       ++wordcount;
   }
}
else
{
printf("Failed to open the file ");
}

printf("Lines Present in given file: %d ", linecount);
printf("Words Present in given file: %d ", wordcount);
printf("Characters Present in given file: %d ", charcount);

getchar();
return(0);
}
