I had written the code like this but I am getting the gap between the two characters of output. How to remove this spaces.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
int s[];
// takes input from user as their name
int name = get_string();
if (name != NULL)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= strlen(name))
{
s[i] = name[i];
}
}
printf ("%c"toupper(s[0]));
}
When I run your code in C, I get many errors. However, these errors are pretty straight-forward so you'll be able to solve them easily. I am concerned mainly about the logistics of your code.
I can understand what you are doing with your code - asking for a string, going through a for-loop, setting a new array. But there is a major problem in your code, and it lies in your for-loop.
Okay, so your for-loop has a great main idea - get a new array, set name[i] to s[i], all of that. And, if executed properly, your code could produce the correct results. However, in this case, your code doesn't produce the proper results. Why is this? Well, initials.c wants you to print out the initials of a person's name in capital, or uppercase letters. Does your for-loop print out capital letters? You are only setting s[i] to name[i], but the only use of toupper() is on the first letter. You might want to do something like name[i] = toupper(name[i]).
In addition, how do you know that the letter you are printing is alphabetical? In the more comfortable version of initials.c, there could be one or more spaces in front of and in between each name. How do you know that you aren't printing the spaces? It might be useful to use an if statement to check whether or not name[i] is a space. It might also be useful to check if the letter after name[i] is a space.
You might want to go back through your code line-by-line and review your thinking process throughout the program. If you fix the errors I stated above - as well as the terminal errors - your code will work beautifully.
