Question

It’s probably a simple correction since the program is super short but please help me understand why am i getting weird output:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)

{
    char x;
    printf("please enter a word, and ctrl + d to see the resault\n");

    while ((x = getchar()) != EOF)
    {
        printf("%d", x);
    }


    return 0;
}

intput: 'd'
output: 10010

Answer 1

The reason you get 10010 is because you are pressing ‘d’ followed by ‘return’.

Change your printf format to “%d\n” to visualize this more easily.

A fix could be:

while ((x = getchar()) != '\n' )
{
}
