Question

I wrote a code for practice in C in Turbo c 3.1. My objective was to get the character output. My code is as follows:

    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>

    void main(){

       char a[10],b;
       int i;

       clrscr();

       for(i=0;i<10;i++)
          a[i]='$';

       for(i=0;i<10;i++){
          b=getchar();
          a[i]=b;
       }

           for(i=0;i<10;i++)
      printf("%c",a[i]);

       getch();
   }

Here, I had to get 10 characters with what I had input but after execution I got only 5 characters. I couldn’t get the problem lying here.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

so how to make the correction, den?

How about:

int ch;

while (i < 10 && (ch = getchar()) != EOF)
    if (ch != '\n')
        a[i++] = ch;
