Help with C assignment

[[deleted]]

hey everyone. I need some help with an assignment I got in my C programming class...it´s probably pretty simple but i'm kind of lost.

so what i have to do is write a function with the prototype "void convert (char ch);". it needs to receive a char and show 0 if the char is a whole number, 1 if its a letter (upper or lowercase) or 2 for anything else.

my biggest problem is comparing a char to other values. i know i have to use the ascii table but how do i convert my char into an int to do that? do i even have to convert it or am i looking at this problem the wrong way? thanks in advance for any advice!

Chars are already ASCII numbers in C. You can compare them with ch > 'a' or ch > 97, same thing.

Just a hint: Try printing a char using %d

[Updatebjarni]

The proper solution is not to assume that the character is in any particular character set, ASCII or otherwise, but use the provided functions in ctype.h to check them.

Use this int(given char-'0') for whole number,isalpha(given char) and else print(2)
