Ascii Name

QUESTION DESCRIPTION


Write a program which reads your name from the keyboard and outputs a list of ASCII codes, which represent your name

TEST CASE 1


INPUT


SRMUNIVERSITY

OUTPUT

The ASCII values of the string are:
83 82 77 85 78 86 69 82 83 73 84 89

Solution :

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
 char input_str[1000];

 scanf("%s",input_str); // taking input

 printf("The ASCII values of the string are:\n"); // print mandatory line

 for(int i=0;input_str[i]!='\0';i++){ 
  printf("%d ",(int)(input_str[i])); // convert and print in the same line
 }
 return 0;
}

Problem Description
You need to write a program that reads a string (name) from the keyboard and outputs the ASCII values of each character in that string.
Solution Approach
To achieve this:
  1. Read the input string from the user.
  2. Convert each character in the string to its corresponding ASCII value.
  3. Print the ASCII values in a formatted manner.

Detailed Explanation
  1. Input Handling:
    • scanf("%s", input_str); reads the input string from the user. This function reads a string until it encounters a whitespace or newline.
  2. Output Header:
    • printf("The ASCII values of the string are:\n"); prints a header to indicate the output format.
  3. Character Processing:
    • The for loop iterates through each character of the string.
    • input_str[i] != '\0' checks if the current character is not the null terminator (end of the string).
    • (int)(input_str[i]) converts the character to its ASCII value and printf("%d ", ...) prints it.
  4. Formatting:
    • The ASCII values are printed in a single line, separated by spaces.
  5. Edge Cases and Considerations
    1. Empty Input: If the input string is empty, the output will just be the header line with no ASCII values.
    2. Long Strings: Ensure that the array size input_str is large enough to handle the input string.
    Conclusion
    The provided C code effectively converts each character of a string to its ASCII value and prints it in a formatted manner. It uses basic string operations and formatted output to achieve the task.
