How to get character data in c program

Question

How can I get this 'Loyal' character data in C program???
scanf("%c",&Var);
Or scanf("%s",&Var);
Or scanf("%ch",&Var);
And print the actual text!

Answer 1

In C, you have to differentiate between char (single letters) and strings, which are char arrays.

A char might be declared and initialized like this:

char letter = 'a';

And a string like this:

char word[] = "alpha";

Pay attention to the different quotation marks, that's no coincidence!

Now in order to write into a char (single letter), you use:

scanf("%c", &letter);

And in case of a string you write:

scanf("%s", word);

Pay attention to the string not having an & - that's because an array variable, if you don't index it, is already an address.
