Character Set in C Programming language
In the C programming language, the character set refers to the set of characters that are recognized by the compiler. The C character set includes the following:
- Uppercase letters (A-Z)
- Lowercase letters (a-z)
- Digits (0-9)
- Special characters, such as punctuation marks and symbols
- White space characters, such as the space, tab, and newline characters
The C character set also includes a number of escape sequences, which are special characters that are represented by a combination of characters beginning with a backslash (). For example, the newline character is represented as \n
, and the tab character is represented as \t
.
In C, characters are represented using the char
data type, which is typically a single byte in size. This allows for the representation of up to 256 different characters, depending on the character encoding used.
