我正在编写一个程序，它从文件中读取文本，并确定该文件的句子数、单词数和音节数。诀窍在于，它只能一次读取一个字符，然后处理它。这意味着它不能仅将整个文件存储在数组中。

因此，考虑到这一点，这是我的程序如何工作的：

while(character != EOF)
{
    check if the character is a end-of-sentence marker (?:;.!)
    check if the character is whitespace (    	 
)
    (must be a letter now)
    check if the letter is a vowel
}

使用状态机的方法，每次循环通过时，某些触发器要么为1，要么为0，这会影响计数。我没有遇到数句子或单词的问题，但音节让我困扰。我使用的音节定义是任何元音或元音组合都算作1个音节，但是一个单独的结尾e不算作一个音节。

考虑到这一点，我已经创建了代码，使得

if character =  A  ||  E  ... ||  o  ||  u 
    if the last character wasnt a vowel then
    set the flag for the letter being a vowel.
    (so that next time through, it doesnt get counted)
    and add one to the syllable count.
    if the last character was a vowel, then dont change the flag and don t
    add to the count. 

Now the problem i have, is my count for a given text file, is very low. The given count is 57 syllables, 36 words, and 3 sentences. I get the sentences correct, same with the words, but my syllable count is only 35.

I also have it setup so that when the program reads a !:;.? or whitespace it will look at the last character read, and if that is an e, it will take one off the syllable count. This takes care of the e being at the end of a word not counting as a vowel.

因此，我知道我的方法肯定有问题，才会造成如此巨大的差异。我肯定是忘记了什么。

有人有一些建议吗？如果必要的话，我不想包含我的整个程序，但可以包含特定的块。

编辑：一些代码...

如果有句子结束标记，那么执行下一个if语句；如果有空格，则执行else if语句；最后一个else语句表示只有能形成单词的字母才会在这个块中出现。这是唯一一个对每个音节计数产生影响的代码块。

if(chrctr ==  A  || chrctr ==  E  || chrctr ==  I  || chrctr ==  O  || chrctr ==  U  || chrctr ==  a  || chrctr ==  e  || chrctr ==  i  || chrctr ==  o   || chrctr ==  u )
        {
            if(chrctr ==  E  || chrctr ==  e )
            {
                isE = 1;
            }
            else
            {
                isE = 0;
            }
            if(skipSylb != 1)
            {
                endSylb = 1;
                skipSylb = 1;
            }
            else
            {
                endSylb = 0;
                skipSylb = 1;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            endSylb = 0;
            skipSylb = 0;

        }

因此，简单解释一下... 如果endSylb等于1，程序稍后将添加一个音节计数。skipSylb用于标记上一个字符是否也是一个音节。如果skipSylb = 1，则这是一个元音字母块，我们只想将计数器加1。现在我有一个isE变量，它只是告诉程序下一次循环上一个字母是E。这意味着，下一次进入while循环时，如果它是句子的结尾，或者是空格，并且上一个字母是E（因此isE = 1），那么我们就会多添加一个音节。

希望这有所帮助。

Since the value is actually lower then what it should be, i thought perhaps the statements where i minus from the count are important too. I use this if statement to decide when to minus from the count:

 if(isE == 1)
       {
           countSylb --;
       } 

This statement happens when the character is whitespace, or an end of sentence character. I can t think of anything else relevant, but i still feel like im not including enough. Oh well, let me know if something is unclear.
