Handling character input in C - Qomplainerz - 07-26-2023
Description:
The char data type is commonly used for handling individual characters, processing strings, and representing ASCII characters in C programs. Keep in mind that characters are internally represented as integer values in C, with each character having a corresponding ASCII code. The char data type allows for efficient storage and manipulation of characters in C.
Example:
char input;
printf("Enter a character: ");
scanf("%c", &input);
printf("You entered: %c\n", input);
Explanation:
In this example, we declare a char variable input to store the character entered by the user.
We prompt the user to enter a character using printf().
We use the %c format specifier in scanf() to read a character from the user and store it in the input variable.
Finally, we print the character entered by the user using printf().
