Arrays

#include <stdio.h>

/* count digits, white space, others */
main()

  int c, i, nwhite, nother;
  int ndigit[10];

  nwhite = nother = 0;
  for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    ndigit[i] = 0;

  while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    if (c >= '0' && c <= '9')
      ++ndigit[c-'0'];
    else if (c == ' ' || c == '\n' || c == '\t')
