Why it is not showing correct output?

I tried to create a program that can count words in a sentence. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char my_sentence[]= "Hello how are you"; int length; length = strlen(my_sentence); int space = 0; for (int i= 0; (i < length); i++){ if (my_sentence[i] == '\0'){ space += 1; } } int total_word; total_word =space + 1; printf("%d",total_word ); return 0; } Ps: I learned python before learning C. So i tried to adapt my understanding of for loop in C from python knowledge.

A whitespace character ' ' differs from the null character '\0'. Use the former for comparison instead. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3696298/wondering-in-c-strings-null-white-spaces

Guess I confused " " with "\0". Thanks it solved the problem.

for (int i= 0; i<length; i++) if (my_sentence[i]==' ') space += 1; // Keep learning & happy coding :D

In C and in C++ single quotes identify a single character, while double quotes create a string literal. 'a' is a single a character literal, while "a" is a string literal containing an 'a' and a null terminator (that is a 2 char array).
