C++ Program to Count the Number of Whitespace Characters in a File

This C++ Program which counts the number of white-space characters in the file. The program creates an input file stream, reads a line on every iteration of a while loop, increments the count variable every time a white-space character (‘ ‘) or a tab-space character (‘\t’) is encountered and the count variable is printed on the screen.

Here is source code of the C++ program which counts the number of white-space characters in a file. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
