Question

code help. mine's logic is not working

Write a program that reads strings from stdin and computes the integer mean of their lengths.

in C language THANKS!

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char s[100];
int eachStringLength = 0,i;
int totalLength = 0;
int count = 0;
double mean = 0;
printf("Enter the string(bye to quit): ");
scanf("%s", &s);
while (strcmp(s, "bye") != 0){
eachStringLength = 0;
for(i=0; s[i]!='\0' ; i++){
eachStringLength++;
}
totalLength = totalLength + eachStringLength;
count++;
printf("Enter the string(bye to quit): ");
scanf("%s", &s);
}
mean = totalLength/(double)count;
printf("Mean of all strings length: %lf\n", mean);

return 0;
}

Output:
