Lets us consider this snippet:
int s;
scanf("%c",&s);
Here I have used int
, and not char
, for variable s
, now for using s
for character conversion safely I have to make it char again because when scanf
reads a character it only overwrites one byte of the variable it is assigning it to, and not all four that int
has.
For conversion I could use s = (char)s;
as the next line, but is it possible to implement the same by subtracting something from s
?
