if a program has scanf("%d",&a) when i give character input why cant it take the asccii value of the character which is an int and store it in a instead showing error eg if i give input as A its ascii value 65 can be stored in a why there is an error

Hi,

Because you are using %d in scanf which expects an integer value as input. If you are interested in ASCII value of character. Use the below code:

int main()

{

    int a;

    scanf("%c",&a);

    printf("%d",a);

    return 0;

}

Thanks
