Oh, dear.

I used more than two lines. I used more than two lines for the INTRODUCTION.

I re-wrote it this morning, with no functions.

Now it runs, but when you enter an EOF, it prints "Floating Point Exception", and no bars.

Here's the code I came up with.

(Warning, more than two lines. Smilie )

Code:
/*
 *  hist.c
 *  
 * Exercise 1-13. Write a program to print a histogram of the lengths of words in its input.
 * This version prints a horizontal histogram. It uses the character █ for the bars.
 * 
 */


#include <stdio.h>
#define	MAX_WORD_LENGTH	30	// The maximum number of letters in a word.
#define	NUMBER_WORDS 0	// To call the first member of the array.

int wordLength	[MAX_WORD_LENGTH]; // array to hold the counts; zero is the number of words

main() {
	
	int c; // counter
	int character; // the character we're looking at
	int p;	// printing counter
	int s;  // printing symbol
	
	for (c = 0; c <= MAX_WORD_LENGTH; c++) {
		wordLength[c] = 0;
	} // end initialization for loop
	
	c = 0; // set count to zero
	
	while ((character = getchar()) != EOF) { // get the character, stuff it into character, check for EOF
		
		
		if ((character >= 'a' && character <= 'z') || // if it's a lower case letter or
			character >= 'A' && character <= 'Z') {   // an upper case letter
			c++; //increment the counter
			
		} // end if
		
		else { // it's the end of the word, c holds the length of the word we just found.
			wordLength[c]++;
			wordLength[NUMBER_WORDS]++; // increment number of words
			c = 0; // re-set the counter for the next word
		} // end else
	} // end while loop
	
	/*******************
	 Printing- we've left the while loop because an EOF showed up
	 *******************/
	
	for (c = 1; c <= MAX_WORD_LENGTH; c++) {
		
		/* Note that this for loop starts with one, not zero.
		 This is because zero holds the number of words,
		 and each word had at least one letter. */
		
		/**************************************
		 This is a test printing sequence I used to make sure the right
		 members of the array were incrementing. I left it here in case
		 final protective fire full panic testing was needed.
		 
		printf("C-");
		printf("%d", c);
		printf(" is ");
		printf("%d \n", wordLength[c]);
		 **************************************/
		
		p = ((wordLength[c] / wordLength[MAX_WORD_LENGTH]) / 2); // Each symbol is 2%
		
		printf("%d", c);
		printf(" letters: ");
		
		for (s = 1; s <= p; s++) {
			printf("█");
		} // end printing for loop
		
		printf("\n");
		
	} // end for loop
} // end main

Text::PDF::Page(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Text::PDF::Page(3pm)

NAME
Text::PDF::Page - Represents a PDF page, inherits from Text::PDF::Pages DESCRIPTION
Represents a page of output in PDF. It also keeps track of the content stream, any resources (such as fonts) being switched, etc. Page inherits from Pages due to a number of shared methods. They are really structurally quite different. INSTANCE VARIABLES
A page has various working variables: curstrm The currently open stream METHODS
Text::PDF::Page->new($pdf, $parent, $index) Creates a new page based on a pages object (perhaps the root object). The page is also added to the parent at this point, so pages are ordered in a PDF document in the order in which they are created rather than in the order they are closed. Only the essential elements in the page dictionary are created here, all others are either optional or can be inherited. The optional index value indicates the index in the parent list that this page should be inserted (so that new pages need not be appended) $p->add($str) Adds the string to the currently active stream for this page. If no stream exists, then one is created and added to the list of streams for this page. The slightly cryptic name is an aim to keep it short given the number of times people are likely to have to type it. $p->ship_out($pdf) Ships the page out to the given output file context perl v5.8.8 2006-09-09 Text::PDF::Page(3pm)
