To get the input, you will have to use something like:
while( gets(inputLine) != NULL )
where inputLine is defined as a character array that is at least as large as the largest input line.
After the input is complete, print out all of the characters and the
number of times that they appeared in
the input. Additionally, draw a histrogram (using '*' for each
occurrance) for the number of occurances.
Since your output screen is limited in size, only output a maximum
of 50 stars.
Use a separate function to print the histogram, plus any other functions, as appropriate.
In this case, the input file is myInputData. If you want easy way to create that file, you can do this:
umbc9:man gets > myInputData
Total number of characters was:
187
The largest number of times
that any one character appeared was 31
Scaling factor is 1
