I wrote my first C project after a long time. Unix wc clone. NO AI
Word Count in C (wc-clone) This project is an implementation of the Unix command wc (Word Count) written in C. It was built to understand how to read from a file and how to use macros to handle errors Functionalities Word Counter: Count the words in a given file, avoiding white spaces and other ascii symbols; Row Counter: Count the rows in a given file, analyzing the \n character. Usage To compile the main.c file you must have gcc or any other C compiler.

In the terminal you write: gcc -O2 main.c -o word_count and then: ./word_count example.txt Example Suppose the example.txt file contains the following: Hello, 123, World !!
