Function Return

How would you return a space from say an if else statement?

Code:

int x;
char ' ';
if (x>0)
winner = 'x'
printf("winner is %d\n",winner);
else 
winner = ' ';
printf("winner is %d\n", winner);

First, this means nothing:

Code:

char ' ';

For the function, you would declare the function as returning a char, and then in the function, return the char:

Code:

char foo() {  
   return 'b' ; 
}

if if/else or other block contains more than 1 statement you have to use braces, for one statement blocks it is recomended to use braces

Code:

if(x)
{
   ch = ' ' ;
}
else
{ 
   ch = 'x';
   ch++;
}
