Code so far:

char sentence[50];
int count = 0;
int c;
printf("\nEnter a sentence: ");
fgets(sentence, 50, stdin);
sscanf(sentence, %s;
  
for(c=0; sentence[c]; c++){
count++;
}
  
int num;
printf("\nEnter a number: ");// enter a number for generating the pyramid
sscanf("%d",&num);
  
int product = num*count;
printf("\n%d",product);

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

        char sentence[50];
        int count = 0;
        int c;

        printf("\nEnter a sentence: ");
        fgets(sentence, 50, stdin);
        
        // fgets puts a new line character at the last
        for(c=0; sentence[c] != '\n'; c++){
                count++;
        }
        
        int num;
        printf("\nEnter a number: "); // enter a number for generating the pyramid
        scanf("%d",&num);
        
        int product = num*count;
        printf("\n%d",product);

        return 0;
}
