Trouble seeing output with visual studio

[wcbigworm]

Hi, I use visual studio for programming in C and when i copy and paste some programs that i know work and produce output, dont do anything. Below is a copy of some random code form someone else that complied but wont work after i type in input


#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXWORDLEN 10

int main(void)
{
int c;
int inspace = 0;
long lengtharr[MAXWORDLEN + 1];
int wordlen = 0;

int firstletter = 1;
long thisval = 0;
long maxval = 0;
int thisidx = 0;
int done = 0;

for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++)
{
lengtharr[thisidx] = 0;
}

while(done == 0)
{
c = getchar();

if(c == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\n' || c == EOF)
{
if(inspace == 0)
{
firstletter = 0;
inspace = 1;

if(wordlen <= MAXWORDLEN)
{
if(wordlen > 0)
{
thisval = ++lengtharr[wordlen - 1];
if(thisval > maxval)
{
maxval = thisval;
}
}
}
else
{
thisval = ++lengtharr[MAXWORDLEN];
if(thisval > maxval)
{
maxval = thisval;
}
}
}
if(c == EOF)
{
done = 1;
}
}
else
{
if(inspace == 1 || firstletter == 1)
{
wordlen = 0;
firstletter = 0;
inspace = 0;
}
++wordlen;
}
}

for(thisval = maxval; thisval > 0; thisval--)
{
printf("%4d | ", thisval);
for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++)
{
if(lengtharr[thisidx] >= thisval)
{
printf("* ");
}
else
{
printf(" ");
}
}
printf("\n");
}
printf(" +");
for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++)
{
printf("---");
}
printf("\n ");
for(thisidx = 0; thisidx < MAXWORDLEN; thisidx++)
{
printf("%2d ", thisidx + 1);
}
printf(">%d\n", MAXWORDLEN);

return 0;
}




Here's the output of the program when given its own source as input:

I can get any of this to show up.

Thanks for the help.

Have you tried running it by pressing <ctrl>-F5?

The crtrl f5 is what i always use, and usually it works. Every other program i have ran worked fine except for ones that seem to have a lot f output in the final solution.
