#include <stdio.h> 
#define MAX_FILE_NAME 100 
  
int main() 
{ 
    FILE *fp; 
    int count = 0;  // Line counter (result) 
    char filename[MAX_FILE_NAME]; 
    char c;  // To store a character read from file 
  
    // Get file name from user. The file should be

        printf("Could not open file %s", filename); 
        return 0; 
    } 
  
    // Extract characters from file and store in character c 
    for (c = getc(fp); c != EOF; c = getc(fp)) 
        if (c == '\n') // Increment count if this character is newline 
            count = count + 1; 
  
    // Close the file 
    fclose(fp); 
    printf("The file %s has %d lines\n ", filename, count);
