I'm trying to make a program that takes the input of a letter from b-z and increments its, but the only thing I get from the program is the same letter printed again.
Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { char firstLetter; char secondLetter; printf("Put in a letter from b - z in the alphabet: "); scanf("%c", firstLetter); printf("%c", firstLetter); secondLetter= firstLetter + 1; printf("%c", secondLetter); return 0; }
scanf needs a 'char *' as second argument, not a 'char'.
Other have classes, we are class
or am I missing something?Code:scanf("%c", firstLetter *);
Thank you for the reply
'char *' means a pointer to a 'char'. This is the address of a memory where a char is stored.
Your line should look like
The '&' is the 'address of' operator.Code:scanf("%c", &firstLetter);
The line says exactly:
scan formated for one character and store it at the memory address of firstLetter.
Other have classes, we are class
