Thread: Dumb question

Right,t his will eba real dumb qquestion to all you pros reading this, well hear it goes...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)

{
    char name;
    
    printf("Please enter your name... ");
    scanf("%c", &name);
    
    
    printf("\n\n");
    printf("Hello
    printf("%c", name);
    printf(", How are you today??? \n\n\n");
    
}

Basically, when i compile and execute all i get printed on the screen is the first letter of the defined name. Whats going on, i fuguered its something to do with only putting it down as a "char", is there anything to define an entire word, like string or something??

Any ideas..... dragon2309
