I created a function that should count the number of sentences in a given string. I used “.”, “!” , “?” to determined whether or not a sentence has ended. Since it runs, I think I’m on the right track, it’s just the result is wrong.

int calc_sent(string text)
{

    int numSent = 0;

    for(int i = 0; i < txtLength; i++)
    {

        if (strcmp( &text[i], "<") == 0 || strcmp( &text[i], "?") == 0 || strcmp( &text[i], "!") == 0)
        {
            numSent++;
        }

    }

    return numSent;
}

I used this text to test it: “My name is John. His name is Jack! Her name is Jane?”. Instead of 3 sentences, the result comes back as 1.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
