Define Char Variable As Input On C Programming Language

We will make syntax in which while program is run then program will ask user to input a character from keyboard PC. Example of using of char variable as input:

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 2.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 name_of_char variable as input with add syntax:
   
   name_of_char = getchar();
   
   so that program syntax becomes:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     name_of_char = getchar();
     getch();
   } 
   
   So user know when must type input from PC keyboard, should given comment/instruction in printf() function,
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     printf("Type a character from PC keyboard! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     getch();
   } 
   
   
8. To show character typed by user can be used printf() function with use code %c
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     printf("Type a character from PC keyboard! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     printf("%c", name_of_char);
     getch();
   } 
   
   Can also added sentence:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     printf("Type a character from PC keyboard! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     printf("Character is typed by user is: %c", name_of_char);
     getch();
   } 
   
   
9. Example we want to add 2 other char variables as input:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     printf("Type a first character! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     printf("First character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char);
     char name_of_char2;
     printf("Type a second character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char2 = getchar();
     printf("Second character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char2);
     char name_of_char3;
     printf("Type a third character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char3 = getchar();
     printf("Third Character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char3);
     getch();
   }
   
   To get same display of program result, program syntax can be witten as follows:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     char name_of_char2;
     char name_of_char3;
     printf("Type a first character! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     printf("First character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char);
     printf("Type a second character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char2 = getchar();
     printf("Second character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char2);
     printf("Type a third character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char3 = getchar();
     printf("Third Character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char3);
     getch();
   }
   
   To get different display of program result, program syntax can be written as follows:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_char;
     char name_of_char2;
     char name_of_char3;
     printf("Type a first character! ");
     name_of_char = getchar();
     printf("Type a second character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char2 = getchar();
     printf("Type a third character! ");
     getchar();
     name_of_char3 = getchar();
     printf("\nFirst character typed: %c \n", name_of_char);
     printf("Second character typed: %c \n", name_of_char2);
     printf("Third Character typed: %c \n \n", name_of_char3);
     getch();
   }
   
   
As much as this, hopefully useful... : )
