Stripping Blanks in C

6

I figured it out, I am still not sure why but the order of my if statement was causing the issue.

The working code looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int c;

    while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
    {
        if (c == ' ')
        {
            putchar(c);
            while ((c = getchar()) == ' ')
            {

            }
        }

        putchar(c);
    }
}
