fileptr = fopen(filechar, "r");
//extract character from file and store in chr
chr = getc(fileptr);
while (chr != EOF)
{
//Count whenever new line is encountered
if (chr == 'n')
{
count_lines = count_lines + 1;
}
//take next character from file.
chr = getc(fileptr);
}
fclose(fileptr); //close file.
