Define Value/Content of Char Variable On C Programming Language

Char derived from the word character, there are many characters that we know, begin from types of letters, numeral, or others symbol such as punctuation mark, etc.

• a is valued as character consists of 1 character
• 7 is valued as character consists of 1 character
• abcd is valued as character consists of 4 characters
• 6789 is valued as character consists of 4 characters
• ab87 is valued as character consists of 4 characters
• cumi1569 is valued as character consists of 8 characters

Syntax of char variableis:

char nama_char; //Define a variable as char variable
name_of_char = ' ' //Define content one character filled between single quotes mark

Example of using of char variable in which char variable value is defined on program syntax

1. Open Dev C++
2. File menu > New > Source File, then will be created a new worksheet titled Untitled1
3. File menu > Save As. On Save as type: choose C source files (*.c) and on File name, example we give name introduction to char and string variable part 1.c
4. First, type minimal required syntax on C programming:
   
   main()
   {
   } 
   
   
5. Add getch() function in main() function to show program result while be Run, so that program syntax be:
   
   main()
   {
     getch();
   }  
   
   
6. Define name of a variable as a char variable:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     getch();
   } 
   
   
7. Define content one character of char variable, example we fill with S letter character
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     name_of_char = 'S';
     getch();
   } 
   
   
8. If we want to show character defined on program syntas, can be used printf() function with use code %c
   Code %c is code to show value of a char variable (gotten from initial of char, i.e. c) continued with type its char variable name
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     name_of_char = 'S';
     printf("%c", name_of_char);
     getch();
   } 
   
   
9. For more interesting can be added senetece
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     name_of_char = 'S';
     printf("Character from program syntax: %c", name_of_char);
     getch();
   } 
   
   
10. We can also add other char vriable
    
    main()
    {
      char name_of_char1;
      char name_of_char2;
      name_of_char1 = 'S';
      name_of_char2 = '2';
      printf("First character from program syntax: %c \n", name_of_char1);
      printf("Second character from program syntax: %c", name_of_char2);
      getch();
    }
    
    

Hopefully useful... :)
