Thread: Password Asterisk

I have been trying to code to manipulate string. I am making a program that would ask the user to enter a password but it will not display the actual string that are typed in, instead it should display '*'. I have this code that I've created but I guess this is wrong. so I need your advice when it comes to my coding. Language is C and compiler is Turbo C++ 3.0

Code:

#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main( void )
{
   char ch[100];
   int counter;

   clrscr();
   gotoxy( 25, 5 );printf( "Enter Password: " );
   for( counter = 0; counter < 100; )
   {
     ch[ counter ] = getch();
     if( ch[ counter ] == '\r' ) break;
     if( isalpha( ch[ counter ] ) )
     {
       ch[ counter ] = '*';
       printf( "&#37;c", ch[ counter ] );
     }
     counter++;
   }

   getch();
   return 0;
}
