C++ code to count total number of spaces in string

C++ code to count the total number of spaces in a string:

C++ code example:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int countSpaces(const string& str) {
    int spaceCount = 0;
    for (char character : str) {
        if (character == ' ') {
            spaceCount++;
        }
    }
    return spaceCount;
}

int main() {
    string inputString;
    cout << "Enter a string: ";
    getline(cin, inputString);
    int spaces = countSpaces(inputString);
    cout << "Total number of spaces: " << spaces << endl;
    return 0;
}

This program defines a function countSpaces that takes a string as input and iterates through each character, incrementing a counter when it encounters a space. The main function takes user input, calls the countSpaces function, and prints the result.
