🧾 Program Statement

Write a C program to accept a character from the user and display it.

#include<stdio.h>

int main() {

//  char ch = 'a';

//  char ch = 97;

//  char ch = 0141;

//  char ch = 0x61;

   

    //user defined

    char ch = 0;

    printf("Enter the Character 'a'\n");

    scanf("%c",&ch);

    printf("Your Character is:- %c\n", ch);

}

🔍 Line-by-Line Explanation

#include<stdio.h>

This line includes the Standard Input Output header file.
It allows us to use functions like printf() and scanf().




int main()

This is the main function where program execution starts.




char ch = 0;

Here, we declare a variable named ch of type char.
It is used to store a single character entered by the user.

printf("Enter the Character 'a'\n");

This line prints a message asking the user to enter a character.
The \n moves the cursor to the next line.

scanf("%c",&ch);

This line reads a character from the keyboard.

• %c is the format specifier for character.
• &ch stores the entered character into the variable ch.

printf("Your Character is:- %c\n", ch);

This statement prints the character stored in ch.

return 0;

This indicates successful termination of the program.

#output

Enter the Character 'a'

a

Your Character is:- a

Note :-  while scanning the data from the user using scnaf() function we need to take care two points

1. Proper format specifier
2. Proper address location
