    Help with Hexadecimal Conversion

    I am trying to create a program where when I enter a character, after the user presses enter it displays the hexadecimal of it. I am seeming to have problems finding how to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Something like this?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        char c = 10;
        printf("%x\n", c);
        return 0;
    }
    That's the easy way. If you want to write a function like toHex() that's a whole different ballgame.

    edit: maybe you are having problems with the input as well?

    Code:
    char c;
    scanf("%c", &c);

    Is that what the %x does?? Converts it into a hexadecimal. Here is what I have so far..
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    main()
    {       char c[5]; 
                               
    puts("Enter Character:");
            while(gets(c) != NULL)   
            {        puts(c);        
                     printf("\n");     
            }
    }

    %x is just another format specifier like %d, %f etc.it is used for hexadecimal numbers.it gives the hexadecimal form of the corresponding argument.
    for eg.
    Code:
    int i=15;
    printf("%x",i);
    will output F
    Similarly %o is used for octal.
