I was attempting to solve a problem from K&R c programming exercise 6-1.

This code was posted as a solution however it has a compile time error at line 5 in the code below:(I am using Dev Cpp)

Can anyone please explain why this error is occurring?

int buffered = 0;
int buf = EOF;

int getch()
{
if(buffered) {

int temp = buf;
buf = EOF;
return temp;

return getchar();
}

void ungetch(int c)
{

buffered = 1;
}

Ok i compiled it in linux and it gives me a list of errors. Anyway add 2 little things and hopefully it will work on you. First of all add #include <stdio.h> for EOF. Then add typedef on struct key:

typedef struct key {
char *word;
int count;
}key;

Done!

It works!!
Thank you!

It works!!
Thanks!!
