c - checking chars when reading from file with getc -

in following code, i'm attempting store characters file (including newlines). if newline read, variable 'i' should incremented , 'j' reset 0, doesn't happen. i've confirmed newlines in fact being read , stored, printing array console.

void scan_solved_nonogram(board *b) {   file *file = fopen("test.txt", "r");    int = 0, j = 0;   while( ( b->symbol[i][j] = getc(file) ) != eof ) {     j++;      if( b->symbol[i][j] == '\n' ) {       i++;       j = 0;     }   }    fclose(file);    b->size_i = i;   b->size_j = j;  } 

the problem increment j before check newline character.

while( ( b->symbol[i][j] = getc(file) ) != eof ) {     j++;// increment j, need check newline @ j-1      if( b->symbol[i][j-1] == '\n' ) {       i++;       j = 0;     }   }
