Thread: A beginner level problem with char datatype

Hi all,
I am a new user of c language and I have written a program which just first stores the char values in memory then it reads and prints. Following is the code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
	
	int n1,i;
	int buff_size = 26;
	char * y;

	y = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char)*buff_size);
	if (y == NULL) {
	fprintf(stderr, "Malloc returned void pointer\n");
	exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
	for (i=0; i<buff_size; i++){
		y[i] = (char)(i);
		printf('value stored  is : %c \n' ,  y[i]);
	}	

    return 0;
}

This code is not compiling giving the following error message:

Code:

error C2015: too many characters in constant  (at the following  line) 

printf('value stored  is : %c \n' ,  y[i]);

what could be the problem??

Thanks
