Introduction

In this article, we will learn how to print an individual character in C.

Program

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
            char name[]="Saumya";
            printf("%c\n",name[0]);
            printf("%c\n",name[6]);
            printf("%c\n",name[5]);
  
    return 0;
}

Output

Explanation

printf(“%c\n”,name[0]); ,by just passing the index value we can access that particular character.

In the output window, there is a blank space between the character ‘S’ and ‘a’ which shows the null character which is the output of the statement printf(“%c\n”,name[6]);, since the null character is present at 6^th index value.

Print an Individual Character in C using Loop

In the previous examples, we use %s to print that string as a whole but in the above example, we use %c to print characters only.

The above code can be made simple with the use of the ‘for’ loop. Using for loop we can access all characters in a single step.

Program

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
            char name[]="Saumya";
            int i;
            for(i=0;i<7;i++)
            {
                        printf("%c\n",name[i]);
            }
           
            return 0;
}

Output

The iterator ‘i’ iterate from 0 to 6 and print each character individually including ‘null’ in the last.
