Wrong Output for C Program

[xDaedalusx]

Hey Guys,

This is my first post and it is a very basic one. I hope to be an active member of this community as I learn more about The C programming language and Linux.

Here is my problem:

Using Text: The C Programming Language (2nd Ed.)

I'm not getting the correct output when I compile this code. It is supposed to display the number for each nw, nl, and nc. When I feed the program the EOF (Ctrl + D), it only displays the amount of times I entered anything. (For Example, I enter "Hi", "Hello", " ", "TAB", "ENTER"; This will display 5). Below is the code (directly from the book), any help appreciated. Thanks

#include <stdio.h>

#define IN 1 /*inside a word*/
#define OUT 0 /*outside a word*/

/*count lines, words, and characters in input*/

main()
{
           int c, nl, nw, nc, state;

           state = OUT;
            nl = nw = nc = 0;

while((c = getchar()) != EOF)
{
++nc;

if(c == '\n')
++nl;
if(c == ' ' || c == '\n' || c == '\t')
state = OUT;
else if (state == OUT)
{
state = IN;
++nw;
}
} //end while
printf("%d %d %d \n", nl, nw, nc);
}

I apologize for the sloppy formatting when I pasted it.

Just tried the code and it works...
