You need to initialise & scan string inside while loop..as you are initialising string before while loop(in main)..p= strlen(string) got stored as garbage value(u can check urself by printing  p there)...and then in while loop u r running for loop from 0to p(0 to garbage stored)..

  Also u must give "\n" after printing the final answer or the line will not get changed for next testcase
