C Program That Reports How Many Lines, Words, And Characters In An Input Text File

C Programming Homework Question

Write a C program that reports how many lines, words, and characters in an input text file with more than 300 words, and at least 3 paragraphs, and also makes a sorted list of all words found in it. You are required to provide the text file. Write the sorted list to an output file, along with the number of times each word appeared in the input file. For the purpose of this program, a word consists of a consecutive sequence of any characters except white space characters. We also assume that the first letter of all the words in the file should be converted to lower case before doing the word counting and sorting.
