C newbie questions?

ive been trying to learn c. in this program and a few others the app waits for EOF and i dunno how to send EOF on a terminal to make it work. i tried ^C and "." help plz?
#include <stdio.h>
/* count lines in input */

main()
{

    int c, nl;
    nl = 0;
    while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
        if (c == '\n')
            ++nl;
    printf("%d\n", nl);
}

If it ain't LISP, it's shit. Commit suicide.

fine then, how do you type in end of file into a running lisp program. it's surely the same.

But LISP is dead.
And C is faster.

^Z is suspend. it just pauses an app.

C is pretty much anus. Use pythons.

thanks, i found it on stackoverflow. eof is ^z for ms-dos and ^D for windows. the app worked perfectly after that.
