E1_8.c:16:4: error: expression is not assignable
 
I am doing an assignment where I need to count tabs, newlines and spaces. I have this code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

        int c, nl, bl, tb;

        nl = 0;
        bl = 0;

        tb = 0;

        while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
                if (c == '\n')
                        ++nl;
                else (c == '\t')
                        ++bl;
        printf("%d\n", bl);
        printf("%d\n", nl);

}
This returns this error:

Code:
E1_8.c:16:4: error: expression is not assignable
                        ++bl;
                        ^
1 error generated.
I am confused...
