Re: [Dev-C++] Loops

As kalb mentioned, you can send it an end of file character using an  
escape sequence to terminate the loop.

Another way would be to change the test to
for (nc = 0; '\n' != getchar(); ++nc);
That will test for a newline instead of EOF, which should make the loop  
terminate when you hit the enter key.
