A slightly more interesting question since I've not actually written
that program before.  I don't think you can easily handle UTF-8 using
the non-wide versions of isxxxx, but this should do it:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <stdbool.h>
  #include <locale.h>
  #include <wchar.h>
  #include <wctype.h>

  int main(void)
  {
       setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

       wint_t wc;
       unsigned nl = 0, nd = 0;

       while ((wc = getwchar()) != WEOF) {
            nl += (bool)iswalpha(wc);
            nd += (bool)iswdigit(wc);
       }

       printf("%u %u\n", nl, nd);
       return ferror(stdin) ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }
