#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
    
    char name = Udbhav;
    
    printf("What is your name? \n");
    
    scanf("%c",&name);
    if( name = Udbhav)
    {
        Printf("You are owner of this computer \n" );
        }else{
        Printf("You're not the owner of this computer");      
        }

Do you have a compiler and a debugger? Execute the code
and you will see various errors.

A few things I will say:

>char name = Udbhav;

A character string like this can only be pointer-type.
What you assign to the address must be in the form of a string literal.

>Printf

C is case-sensitive. printf is always lower-case.

> if( name = Udbhav)

Learn about the differences between assignment and equality
operators. There is an excellent tutorial on this site for that.

There are other errors too, but this is a start.

Good luck and welcome to cboard and C!

Thanks and can you please fix the errors and send me the code back in PM?
So,I can learn from that..

Yes,I'm using DevC++

This forum is not a homework completion service. Fix it yourself. swgh told you exactly what to do.

[swgh]

Just to echo what Elkvis said, if you post the code you have modified,
with any other errors etc people can give you advice on how to amend
them etc.

Also, please do not use conio.h. This header file provides functions for Windows only, and is not portable to Linux or other systems.

It makes it impossible for many of us to compile your code to test.

There is a Lot of mistakes in your program,Try this one,i have made some modifications.

    
   main()
  {
    char name[]="udbhav",name2[100];
 printf("What is your name? \n");

    scanf("%s",&name2);
    if( strcmp(name,name2)==0)
    {
        Printf("You are owner of this computer \n" );
        }else{
        Printf("You're not the owner of this computer");      
        }     


    getch();
   }

1.You have to be thorough in Strings concept(how to declare,define)
It is explained in this website
here the link C Strings - Cprogramming.com
2.Practice using String Library Functions.

All the best.!!

Character constant cannot be more than one character long,its better if you learn about basic of defining character constant.
