Character constant in c program
A character constant is a single character, enclosed in single quotation marks.
e.g., ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘1’
A character constant is a single character, enclosed in single quotation marks.
e.g., ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘1’
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
const char a = ‘X’;
clrscr();
printf(“Value of a = %c , a ”);
getch();
return 0;
}
Value of a = X

Characters are stored internally in computer as coded set of binary digits, which have positive decimal integer equivalents. The value of a character constant is the numeric value of the character in the machine’s character set. This means that the value of a character constants can vary from one machine to the next, depending on the character set being used on the particular machine. For example, on ASCII machine the value of ‘A’ is 65 and on EBCDIC machine it is 193.
First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
