    Unhappy print string

    What you should do is take the loop out of main and put it into a function. The purpose of the function is to accept a string then display the individual characters of the string to the screen one at a time.
    1. Prompt for and input a string value from the keyboard.
    2. Pass this value to a user defined function that will display each character in the string on a separate line of the screen.
    3. In main, thank the user for using your program.
    The user function will need to:
    1. Accept the string as an input parameter. Name this string variable newstring
    2. Create a variable named index and initialize it to zero (0)
    3. While (newstring[index] does not equal ‘\0’).
    i. Display the character at newstring[index] followed by a NL
    ii. Increment index
    End Loop
    4. Return to main.

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    
    int DisplayCharacter(char newstring[]);      // Prototype Declaration
    
    
    int main()
    {
        char newstring[80];
    
    
        printf("Enter the String: ");
        gets(newstring);
    
    
        printf("Thank You\n\n\n");
    
    
    }
    
    
    //Writing function
    int DisplayCharacter(char newstring[])
    {
        int index = 0;
        while(newstring[index] != '\0')
        {
            printf("%c\n",newstring[index]); // prints the first word of the string
            index++;
        }
        return (index);
    }

    The only thing missing is this.
    2. Pass this value to a user defined function that will display each character in the string on a separate line of the screen.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
