Assignment 2.2: Letters
‘Letters’ Specification
Implement a program in C in a file called letters.c that does the following:
- Get a string from the user
- Print the # of characters in the string including spaces
- Print the # of letters in the phrase (uppercase and lowercase)*
- Print the # of words.* For these purposes, a word is only separated from other words by a single space. You can assume that any input given will not start or end with a space or contain groups of spaces (2 or more in a row).
- Print the average word length (# of characters per word—round to 3 decimal places)
- Print the input phrase with only the first letter of each word capitalized. All other letters should be lowercase even if they were upper in the input phrase.*
*write a function for each of these
