Whenever it will encounter \n i.e newline, it will increment the i value.That means it counts each and every line in the file.

How it counts the number of line, even if we see in while loop the condition will create an infinite loop?

Really good explanation. Thank you. @mahi.

Firstly we are opening the file fp using fp = fopen("myfile.c", "r");
This also reads the file("r")
Now whatever the value equated to ch is counted
And we know that '\n' indicates every new lines arrival
By keeping track of \n in the statements
If(ch == '\n')
i++;
It results in number of new lines accessed
This also reads the file("r")
Now whatever the value equated to ch is counted
And we know that '\n' indicates every new lines arrival
By keeping track of \n in the statements
If(ch == '\n')
i++;
It results in number of new lines accessed

It appears that i++ is over one line below the if statement, if it is, than it counts the characters in the file, else it counts the number of newline characters. Newline characters are not always indicative of a line, on windows \r\n is a line where on *nix it is \n.
