Write a C program to input a character from user and check whether given

character is alphabet, digit or special character

Logic to check alphabet, digit or


special character
 A character is alphabet if it in between a-z or A-Z.
 A character is digit if it is in between 0-9.
 A character is special symbol character if it neither alphabet nor
digit.
Step by step descriptive logic to check alphabet, digit or special character.

1. Input a character from user. Store it in some variable say ch.


2. First check if character is alphabet or not. A character is
alphabet if((ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z') || (ch >= 'A' && ch <=
'Z')).

3. Next, check condition for digits. A character is digit if(ch >= '0' &&
ch <= '9').

4. Finally, if a character is neither alphabet nor digit, then character


is a special character.
Let us implement the above logic in a C program.

Program to check alphabet, digit or


special character
/**
* C program to check alphabet, digit or special character
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char ch;

/* Input character from user */


printf("Enter any character: ");
scanf("%c", &ch);

/* Alphabet check */
if((ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z') || (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z'))
{
printf("'%c' is alphabet.", ch);
}
else if(ch >= '0' && ch <= '9')
{
printf("'%c' is digit.", ch);
}
else
{
printf("'%c' is special character.", ch);
}

return 0;
}

Note: You can also use ASCII character codes for checking alphabets, digits
or special characters as shown in below program.

Program to check alphabet, digit or


special character using ASCII value
/**
* C program to check alphabet, digit or special character using ASCII value
*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
char ch;

/* Input a character from user */


printf("Enter any character: ");
scanf("%c", &ch);

if((ch >= 97 && ch <= 122) || (ch >= 65 && ch <= 90))
{
printf("'%c' is alphabet.", ch);
}
else if(ch >= 48 && ch <= 57)
{
printf("'%c' is digit.", ch);
}
else
{
printf("'%c' is special character.", ch);
}

return 0;
}

C Program to Check Armstrong


Number
A positive integer is called an Armstrong number (of order n ) if

abcd... = an + bn + cn + dn +

In the case of an Armstrong number of 3 digits, the sum of cubes of each digit
is equal to the number itself. For example, 153 is an Armstrong number
because

153 = 1*1*1 + 5*5*5 + 3*3*3

Check Armstrong Number of three digits


#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num, originalNum, remainder, result = 0;
printf("Enter a three-digit integer: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
originalNum = num;

while (originalNum != 0) {
// remainder contains the last digit
remainder = originalNum % 10;

result += remainder * remainder * remainder;

// removing last digit from the orignal number


originalNum /= 10;
}

if (result == num)
printf("%d is an Armstrong number.", num);
else
printf("%d is not an Armstrong number.", num);

return 0;
}
Run Code

Output

Enter a three-digit integer: 371


371 is an Armstrong number.

C Program to Check Whether a


Number is Prime or Not
A prime number is a positive integer that is divisible only by 1 and itself. For
example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17.
Program to Check Prime Number
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

int n, i, flag = 0;
printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);

// 0 and 1 are not prime numbers


// change flag to 1 for non-prime number
if (n == 0 || n == 1)
flag = 1;

for (i = 2; i <= n / 2; ++i) {

// if n is divisible by i, then n is not prime


// change flag to 1 for non-prime number
if (n % i == 0) {
flag = 1;
break;
}
}

// flag is 0 for prime numbers


if (flag == 0)
printf("%d is a prime number.", n);
else
printf("%d is not a prime number.", n);

return 0;
}
Run Code

Output
Enter a positive integer: 29
29 is a prime number.

In the program, a for loop is iterated from i = 2 to i < n/2 .

In each iteration, whether n is perfectly divisible by i is checked using:

if (n % i == 0) {
flag = 1;
break;
}

If n is perfectly divisible by i , n is not a prime number. In this case, flag is set


to 1, and the loop is terminated using the break statement.
Notice that we have initialized flag as 0 during the start of our program.
So, if n is a prime number after the loop, flag will still be 0. However, if n is a
non-prime number, flag will be 1.

C Program to Check Whether a


Number is Palindrome or Not
Program to Check Palindrome
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n, reversed = 0, remainder, original;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
original = n;
// reversed integer is stored in reversed variable
while (n != 0) {
remainder = n % 10;
reversed = reversed * 10 + remainder;
n /= 10;
}

// palindrome if orignal and reversed are equal


if (original == reversed)
printf("%d is a palindrome.", original);
else
printf("%d is not a palindrome.", original);

return 0;
}
Run Code

Output

Enter an integer: 1001


1001 is a palindrome.

Here, the user is asked to enter an integer. The number is stored in variable n .
We then assigned this number to another variable orignal . Then, the reverse
of n is found and stored in reversed .

If original is equal to reversed , the number entered by the user is a


palindrome.
