int main(void) {
    string enterword = get_string("input: ");
    int t = strlen(enterword);
    printf("%i\n", t);
    int counter = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i <= t; i++) {

        if (enterword[i] == '.' || enterword[i] == '!' || enterword[i] == '?') {
            counter = counter + 1;
        }
    }
    printf("number of lines %i\n", counter);
    int wordcounter = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i <= t; i++) {
        if (enterword[i] == ' ') {
            wordcounter = wordcounter + 1;

        }
    }
    printf("total words %i\n", wordcounter);
}

After getting counted the number of words, sentences, it is time to count number of letters. Here is my tentative idea:

lettercounter = 0

Total characters are known by string length function.

lettercounter will be lettercounter = lettercounter + 1 whenever there are alphabets till it reaches string length. Now, one point to clear is how alphabets will be distinguished from digits, punctuation marks. Is my approach correct?
