 char a[16];


   printf(" enter sequence");
   scanf( "%s", a );

how can it be written with array,using for loop?

Not sure what you're trying to do. But scanf + %s is dangerous. Read my signature. It's something everyone should know.

i meant how can i take a sequence of characters with array,finite and infinite size?
why is it dangerous ,because of no ampersand?

You can read a single char with getc().

scanf("%s", ...) is unsafe! If you're going to use it, specify buffer size properly! If that's confusing, just use fgets.

Did you mysteriously miss that or did you NOT read my signature?

You can fit a finite number of chars in an array. You can NOT fit an infinite number of chars in an array.
