How can I send EOF to windows git bash terminal?

[Thane Michael]

I'm running this C program (from the C programming by K&R);

#include <stdio.h>
main(){

double nc;
for(nc = 0; getchar() != EOF; ++nc);
printf("%.0f\n", nc);

}

It reads in characters from stdin and increments a counter, nc.

When I compile and run it in git bash, nc never gets printed after the program terminates.

CTRL+Z, and CTRL+C just stop the program.

Hi Michael,

Ctrl+D

Or you pipe the input into the program, like so:

echo 123 | ./a1.out

(this assumes that you compiled to a1.out, as was the standard in K&R
times).
