Hi All C gurus,

Since I am studying C as instructed, I am encountering situations
where I may need help to clarify things a bit. I studying:

"The C programming language" (Kernighan & Ritchie)

as suggested by KatolaZ.

On page Page 34 Exercise 1-9
"Write a program to copy its input to its output, replacing each
string of blanks one ore more blanks by a single blank."

I wrote the following, tested it, and it seems to work, but I think it is
too complicated. Any suggestions?

--------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int c, d = 0;
  while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
    if (c != ' ') {
      d = 0;
      putchar(c);
    }
    if (c == ' ' && d == 0) {
      putchar(c);
      d = 1;
    }
  }

return 0;
}
----------------------------
