The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition, by Kernighan and Ritchie
Exercise 1.14 on page 24
Write a program to print a histogram of the frequencies of different characters in its input.
Solution by Liron Abutbul (Horizontal Edition)
/** * Write a program to print a histogram of the frequencies of different characters in its input. */ #include <stdio.h> #define ASCII 128 // number of ASCII characters int main(void) { int c, i, j, max_freq = 0; int freq[ASCII]; // frequency of the characters for(i = 0; i < ASCII; freq[i++] = 0); // initialize the array /** * Count the frequency of the characters in the input */ while((c = getchar()) != EOF) { if(c != ' ' && c != '\n' && c != '\t') freq[c]++; } /** * Determine the maximum frequency of the characters */ for(i = 0; i < ASCII; i++) { if(freq[i] > max_freq) max_freq = freq[i]; } printf("Histogram of the frequencies of different characters in its input:\n"); /** * Print the y-axis of the histogram with the characters */ for(i = 0; i < ASCII; i++) { if(freq[i] > 0) { printf("%c | ", i); for(j = 0; j < freq[i]; j++) printf("\u25A0 "); printf("\n"); } } /** * Print the x-axis of the histogram with the frequency of the characters */ printf(" +"); for(i = 1; i <= max_freq; i++) // print the horizontal line printf("———"); printf("\nW/F "); // print the label of the x-axis (Frequency/Length) for(i = 1; i <= max_freq; i++) // print the frequency of the characters printf("%02d ", i); return 0; }

Solution by Richard Heathfield (Category 0)
Naturally, I've gone for a vertical orientation to match exercise 13. I had some difficulty
ensuring that the printing of the X-axis didn't involve cheating. I wanted to display each
character if possible, but that would have meant using isprint(), which we haven't yet met.
So I decided to display the value of the character instead. (The results below show the
output on an ASCII system - naturally, a run on an EBCDIC machine would give different numbers.)
I had to jump through a few hoops to avoid using the % operator which, again, we haven't yet
met at this point in the text.
#include <stdio.h> /* NUM_CHARS should really be CHAR_MAX but K&R haven't covered that at this stage in the book */ #define NUM_CHARS 256 int main(void) { int c; long freqarr[NUM_CHARS + 1]; long thisval = 0; long maxval = 0; int thisidx = 0; for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { freqarr[thisidx] = 0; } while((c = getchar()) != EOF) { if(c < NUM_CHARS) { thisval = ++freqarr[c]; if(thisval > maxval) { maxval = thisval; } } else { thisval = ++freqarr[NUM_CHARS]; if(thisval > maxval) { maxval = thisval; } } } for(thisval = maxval; thisval > 0; thisval--) { printf("%4d |", thisval); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { if(freqarr[thisidx] >= thisval) { printf("*"); } else if(freqarr[thisidx] > 0) { printf(" "); } } printf("\n"); } printf(" +"); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx <= NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { if(freqarr[thisidx] > 0) { printf("-"); } } printf("\n "); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx < NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { if(freqarr[thisidx] > 0) { printf("%d", thisidx / 100); } } printf("\n "); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx < NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { if(freqarr[thisidx] > 0) { printf("%d", (thisidx - (100 * (thisidx / 100))) / 10 ); } } printf("\n "); for(thisidx = 0; thisidx < NUM_CHARS; thisidx++) { if(freqarr[thisidx] > 0) { printf("%d", thisidx - (10 * (thisidx / 10))); } } if(freqarr[NUM_CHARS] > 0) { printf(">%d\n", NUM_CHARS); } printf("\n"); return 0; }

Solution by Bocchio (Category 0)
This program prints the histogram of characters in the input without taking into account blanks and assuming no character has a frequency over 9999. Also this only works for ASCII input.
#include <stdio.h> /* Creates a histogram with the frequency of the characters in the input */ /* Vertical version */ int main() { int len_freq[94]; int heigth; int c, i, k; heigth = 0; for(i = 0; i <= 93; ++i) len_freq[i] = 0; while((c = getchar()) != EOF){ if(33 <= c && c <= 126){ ++len_freq[c-33]; if(len_freq[c-33] >= heigth) heigth = len_freq[c-33]; } } for(i = heigth; i > 0; --i){ printf("%4d|", i); for(k = 0; k <= 93; ++k){ if(len_freq[k] >= i) printf("#"); else printf(" "); } printf("\n"); } printf(" +"); for(i = 0; i <= 93; ++i) printf("-"); printf("\n "); for(i = 0; i <= 93; ++i){ printf("%c", i+33); } printf("\n"); return 0; }

A quite grotesque vertical version that might misbehave on small screens. Symbolic constants such as SIZE_H, SIZE_V and HIST_OX_LIM must be modified to avoid "ugly" output. Its Y-axis is 100 by default since it represents % and not the actual amount of characters. It also only displays the characters that are given to it, not the whole set like ASCII.
#include <stdio.h> #define HIST_OY_LIM 100 #define SIZE_H 3 #define SIZE_V 2 #define HIST_OX_LIM 29 #define YES 1 #define NO 0 int main(void) { int c, hist_num[HIST_OX_LIM], free = HIST_OX_LIM, i, new = YES, size_h, size_v; char hist_ch[HIST_OX_LIM]; for (; free > 0; --free) hist_num[free - 1] = hist_ch[free - 1] = 0; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) { for (i = free; i >= 0 && i < (HIST_OX_LIM); --i) if (hist_ch[i] == c) { ++hist_num[i]; new = NO; } if (new == YES) { hist_ch[free] = c; ++hist_num[free]; ++free; } else new = YES; } i = 0; for (c = 0; i < free; ++i) c += hist_num[i]; putchar('\n'); putchar('\n'); for (new = HIST_OY_LIM; new > 0; --new) { printf("%3d| ", new); for (size_v = SIZE_V; size_v > 0; --size_v) { if (size_v < SIZE_V) { putchar('\n'); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); putchar('|'); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); } for (i = 0; i < free; ++i) { for (size_h = SIZE_H; size_h > 0; --size_h) if (hist_num[i]*100.0/c >= new*1.0) putchar('#'); else putchar(' '); putchar(' '); } } putchar('\n'); } putchar(' '); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); putchar('|'); for (; i >= 0; --i) for (size_h = SIZE_H + 1; size_h > 0; --size_h) putchar('_'); putchar('\n'); printf(" "); for (++i ; i < free; ++i) if (hist_ch[i] == ' ') { putchar('\''); putchar(' '); putchar('\''); putchar(' '); } else if (hist_ch[i] == '\t') { putchar('\\'); putchar('t'); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); } else if (hist_ch[i] == '\n') { putchar('\\'); putchar('n'); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); } else { putchar(' '); putchar(hist_ch[i]); putchar(' '); putchar(' '); } putchar('\n'); return 0; }

Yet another simple solution. Formatting of the source code is done using `:%!clang-format` at the Vim command-line while editing the file. The source is compiled and executed with itself as input like this:
TCPL$ time gcc ex114.c -o ex114 && ./ex114 < ./ex114.c
#include <stdio.h> /* Write a program to print a histogram of the frequencies of different * characters in its input. */ #define A 'A' #define z 'z' int main() { /* The index of z minus the index of A gives us the needed length for * the array of characters. */ char letters[z - A], c = EOF, l, i; /* Initialize the count of the letters. */ for (l = A; l < z + 1; ++l) letters[l - A] = 0; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) { if (c >= A && c <= z) ++letters[c - A]; } for (l = A; l < z + 1; ++l) { /* Print only the used letters. Not using 'continue;' as it is not * mentioned yet in the book. */ if (letters[l - A] != 0) { /* I searched the internet: "How to display characters using * printf?" `man 3 printf` also contains this information in * section 'Conversion specifiers'. */ printf("\n%c (%02d): ", l, letters[l - A]); for (i = 0; i < letters[l - A]; ++i) putchar('*'); } } putchar('\n'); return 0; }
The output is as follows:
