This is wrong. EOF is not a character, so by casting it to a char in the assignment you are making its value be the same as another ASCII character, thus making the program think the file has ended when in reality it has just encountered a normal character.

Hello! Why do we initialize the line counter to =1 instead of =0? Thanks for answering.
