    Please don't use all caps, it's harder to read.
    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<ctype.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        int inChar;
    
        printf("\npush any key(type and f to stop)");
    
        while ((inChar = getchar()) != 'f')
        {
            inChar=tolower(inChar);
            getchar();
    
            if ( isalpha (inChar))
                printf("\nthe character entered is a letter.");
            else if (isdigit(inChar))
                printf("\nthe character entered is a digit.");
    
            printf("\npush any key(type and f to stop)");
        }
    }
    p.s. What the alphabet would look like without q and r.

    That doesn't help. It works fine for me, and should for you too if the code you posted worked.

    Wink While loops

    m8 - Just noticed on the firstbit of code here that you got a semicolon ( after your while statement - that'll make it terminate

    That's the correct syntax for a do..while statement.
