What is the error??

[linuxlover]

My problem is this.

First I need to read a single integer type digit from the keyboard.

Then I need to print that digit in character form.ie. if I entered 1 ,I need to get the character constant '1' as output.

In the second case I need to read a character from keyboard .If it is any one of characters 0 - 1, it will printed in the decimal form.
ie. if I enter character 1 , I need to get decimal value 1 as output.

The program is simple but I dont get correct output.
ie. I got output of first case .
In the second case I 'm not getting any output.ie program doesn't stops.
I checked whether there is an infinite loop by putting a printf() statement .
But there is no infinite loop.
Then what is my problem.

Code is this:

#include<stdio.h>

main()
{       int digit , n = 0;
        char ch;
        printf("ENTER DIGIT:");
        scanf("%d",&digit);

         for( ch = 48;n < digit;++n , ch++ );
         printf("ENTERED DIGIT IS  %c \n",ch);

         printf("NOW ENTER A CHARACTER, IF IT IS A DIGIT THAT DIGIT IS PRINTED IN DECIMAL FORM:");
         scanf(" %c ",&ch);

         for( digit = 0  ; digit < ch - 48 ; digit++ );         
         printf("ENTERED CHARACTER  IS  %d \n",digit);

}

OS Linux
compiler g++

Code ending tag is the other slash

main() should be int main(void) and should return 0.

Compiler should be gcc not g++. That's a c++ compiler.

I think the most you can learn from this is by observing (via debugging) the values of your variables while the program is running. Step through the code and see how they change. What can you notice?

First suggestion accepted
But why main() should explicitly specified int.If nothing is specified default type is int .Then why....
Change of which variable you mean?????????????
Functions whose return type is int can return nothing..Then why main()
should return sth..?

Instead of using for loops (which waste a ton of time) why don't you just add and subtract?

// decimal to ascii
digit += '0';

// acii to decimal
letter -= '0';

(Laserlight will now correct me, of course)
