i entered letter "g" instead of integer value for a & b for fun, but code "a+b" gave me value "8", why? lang-C.

Question

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int a, b;
printf("Enter two numbers:");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);

printf("\nSum: %d", a+b);

return 0;
}

Answer 1

in C each character has its how integer representation, or let me just say character data is just like integer data type, you only convert to Ascii, just as Anhjje 🐑 have represented it for you, because you use the integer specifier all input will be converted to integer automatically and then use in you program

Answer 2

Each character has an ASCII and binary value.

For example

D = 068 or 01000100
E = 069 or 01000101
F = 070 or 01000110
G = 071 or 01000111

Maybe it has something to do with this? Show your code so we can check it out

Answer 3

Can you provide code which u tried?
