R1D26 Spinning My Wheels
I spent an entire hour trying to work through the issue I wrote about in my last post. Sadly, I did not make much progress.
I was able to convert multiple spaces to a single space, but I ended up also cutting off the first letter of all subsequent words in the process.
So hello world becomes hello orld, hello world becomes hello orld, and hello world its me lev becomes hello orld ts e ev. :(
This seemingly simple problem is giving me a lot of trouble. I think I am going to move on to the next problem and live with the fact that I don’t know how to do this in C (yet).
I asked on the freeCodeCamp forum for some advice so hopefully someone will come along and point me in the right direction. :)

I don’t think anyone particularly enjoys typesetting in monospace. Regular text is okay – at least as okay as it can be: Right aligning is also fine, as long as you don’t mind counting spaces, but centering already gets tricky, as you don’t have a half spa...
