#include <stdio.h>

#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
    string enterword = get_string("input: ");
    int t = strlen(enterword);
    printf("%i\n", t);
    int counter = 0;
    for(int i = 0; i<= t; i++)
    {

         if (enterword == '.'|| enterword == '!' || enterword == '?'){
         counter = counter + 1;}
    }
         printf("number of lines %i\n",counter);

         int wordcounter = 1;
         for (int i = 0; i<= t; i++)
         {
             if (enterword == ' ' ){
                 wordcounter = wordcounter + 1;

             }
         }
         printf("total words %i\n", wordcounter);
         int lettercounter = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i <= t; i++){
         if (isalpha (enterword)) {
        lettercounter++;
         }

      }
      printf("number of letters %i\n", lettercounter);
      int L = (lettercounter / wordcounter) * 100;
      printf("L index: %i\n",L);
      int S = (counter / wordcounter) * 100;
      printf("S index: %i\n",S);
      int index = (0.0588 * L) - (0.296 * S) - 15.8;
      printf("CI: %i\n",index);


}


			

For the above code, while I could see the number of letters, words, sentences computed correctly, but not Coleman-Liau Index. Instead of Grade 5, it is showing Grade I (CI) in this example: https://www.canva.com/design/DAE0L-QIgQ0/M19PsHu5Di-MsEyNgmT-WQ/view?utm_content=DAE0L-QIgQ0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton

Getting the output in decimal form with float

Copy Code
Copied
Use a different Browser

int lettercounter(string enteredword);
int wordcounter(string enteredword);
int sentencecounter(string enteredword);
int main(void)
{
    string enteredword = get_string("enter word:"); int y = lettercounter(enteredword);
    printf("number of alphabetical characters: %i\n", y);
    int f = wordcounter(enteredword);
    printf("number of words: %i\n", f);
    int s = sentencecounter(enteredword);
    printf("number of sentences: %i\n",s);
    float L = ((float)(y/f)) * 100;
    printf("average letter per 100 word:%f",L);
}



			

I guess there is something wrong with:

Copy Code
Copied
Use a different Browser

float L = ((float)(y/f)) * 100;


			

Not getting the output in decimal form.
