Thread: simple text analyzsis program

basically, this program will ask the user to write a line of text, and analyze the character in that line of text if its exist or not.
ex :

Code:

enter line of text : abra kadabra
'a' was found
'b' was found
'c' was not found
.
.
.
.

but i have problems with my code, can someone please point out my mistakes.

so, i use array to store the characters, but having problems using them.
this is my code so far :

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAXLINE 50

int main (void)
{

	char string[MAXLINE];
	char *alphabet[26] = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"};
	int i;
	
	
	printf ( "Please enter a line of text ( maximum %d characters ) :", sizeof(string) );
	fgets (string, sizeof(string), stdin);
	
	for ( i=0; i <=20 ; i++) {
	
		if ( strchr ( string, alphabet[i] ) != NULL ) {
			printf("\'%c\' was found in \"%s\".\n", alphabet[i], string );
		}
			else {
				printf ("\'%c\' was not found in \"%s\".\n", alphabet[i], string);
				
			}
		
	}
		getchar();
		return 0;
		}

i'm not really sure how to do it... let me try it...
