Herman Hollerith
The main 2 machines that Herman Hollerith invented for the 1890 US census were a manually fed electromechanical card tabulator (for counting items punched on the cards) and a manually fed electromechanical card sorter connected to the tabulator by a cable (for separating cars into categories for later processing on other tabulator/sorter machines to extract more specific information).To support these machines he also invented a manually operated pantograph card punch, to allow a person to transfer the data from the paper census form to a punchcard.
Oh, dude, the Tagalog word for "tabulator" is "tagapagtala." It's like the word that helps you tally up stuff, you know? So, if you ever need to tabulate something in Tagalog, just remember "tagapagtala."

Your question has nothing to do with C language. Whitspace characters are: space, tabulator, carriage return, new line, new page, vertical tabulator.
