Challenge: Space Count - My Solution

[code]#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h> // for strlen()

// function that counts the space characters (ASCII 0x20) in a C-String
int spaceCount(const char *string) {
char space = 0x20; // define charc. we are interested in
uint16_t len = strlen(string); // count # of chars on supplied string
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (string[i] == space) { // using shorthand for indentifying each byte (char) in string via loop
sum++;
}
}
return sum; //return count
}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
// Counting Space Characters in String
const char *sentence = “He was not in the cab at the time!”;
printf(“There are %d spaces in the sentence: %s\n”, spaceCount(sentence), sentence);

return 0;

}
