I think this is a homework question. Please have an attempt at it yourself and we will be happy to help you deal with any problems that arise. We will not be doing your homework for you.

Start with the simple things, opening the file, counting the number of characters, spaces and lines and then go onto the more complex, printing first 10 lines in reverse order.

You will need to use the functions

fopen
fgets
fclose

and possibly

fseek

as well as array handling of a character array.

Post your attempt and we'll help you.
