Printf scanf doesn't work properly in C

Question

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char name;
printf("Type Your Name: ");
scanf("%c",&name);
printf("Your Name Is %c",name);
getch ();
}

I wrote this code but it's not giving the answer that I want. If I type a name like "Shanto" my code only says that my name is "S". It doesn't show the full name. Why? Where is the mistake?

Answer 1

You are using a char variable to store your name which is why only first character of your name is printed as output.Things you need to change in this code.
1.change char to char[] for storing string values.
2.use %s in scanf and printf or instead go for gets and puts funtions in string header
