Question

I am taking an intro to C class so I am a noviceto say the least. My assignment is to create a wordcounter in C. It must be able to read threelines of text input by a user, store them as strings, andcount the number of words entered using strtok. Also, this program needs to have a function in addition tothe main function.

This is what I have brought the codeto at this point in time. It seems to be ignoring the systempause though.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
   
    /* Main function performs the followingitems: Reads 3 lines of user generated text, counts thewords, outputs word count */
    int main()
    {
       char text[ 3 ][ 100000 ],*tokenPtr;        /* Creates 3 arrayseach of length 100,000 as well as the Pointer */
       int i;                                 /* int i will serve as theline counter */
       int counter;                             /* int counter serves to count to total numberof words */
       counter = 0;                             /* Setting word counter to 0 */
        
       printf( "The followingprogram will count the total number of words used in 3 lines oftext. Enter 3 lines of text: " );   
      
       /*During the lines being less thanthree increase i by one and execute */
       for ( i = 0; i <= 2; i++) {
          gets( &text[i ][ 0 ] );
          tokenPtr =strtok( &text[ i ][ 0 ], " " );
         
          while (tokenPtr ) {
            ++counter;
            tokenPtr = strtok(NULL, " " );
          }
       }
      
       returncounter;                          /* Function returns the total number of wordscounted */
    }
   
    /*Print function takes the outputted word countfrom Main and prints the totals number of words*/
    int print ()
    {
        int words =main();                       /* Setsint words as the value returned from main */
       
        printf( " Based on the textyou entered, the number of words you used is %d ", words );

        system("pause");
        return 0;                             /* End of function */
    }
