I am working on pset2's initials.c where the goal is to return the initials in upper case. I figured out how to get the initials of the first name, but i am not sure how to get the second name. For example if i typed in krubel sahle, i know how to return the 0'th index which is 'k' in uppercase. However, i dont know how to get the letter 's' in uppercase. All i am looking for is a hint.

You want hints?
Except for the first initial, what character is always before every initial?
There are a lot of library functions out there, some that you should look at now, like tolower(), isalpha(), and a whole lot more. Since you only wanted a hint, I'll let you think about what else is out there. ;-)

i understand that i need to locate the space character and then add one to it so that i can find the first letter for the second name. How can i translate this into C language. Commented Jul 31, 2016 at 0:34
If you are using a variable like int i in a for() loop to iterate through the string, and you find a space character at
string[i]
then you should be able to access the next character at
string[i + 1].
Hope this helps.

@BijanKhadembashi: try something like:
if ((name[i] == ' ') && ( /* Something else you should check for */ ));Commented Aug 26, 2016 at 4:01
