Print a string using putch with pointers in C -

so i'm trying print inputted string using putch , little bit of pointers.

here current code:

#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> #include<string.h>  void printer(char *c); char *c; char ch; main(){   clrscr();   printf("enter string: ");   scanf("%s",&ch);   c = &ch;   printer(c);   getch(); }   void printer(char *c){   int x;   for(x=0;x<strlen(c);x++){      putch(*c);   } } 

the problem can print first character of string, reason strlen return 3 strings 3 characters , below.

do have use array can use putch since limited 1 character output.

one of problems printer() function not printing other first character. there 2 ways of approaching this. using pointers:

void printer(char const *c){     while ( *c != '\0' ) {         putch(*c);         c++;     } } 

and using pointer arithmetic:

void printer(char const *c) {     int x;     ( x=0; x < strlen(c); x++ ) {         putch( *(c + x) );     } } 

the biggest problem attempting store string in single character in memory. that's asking problems.

char ch; scanf("%s",&ch); // no no no no no 

instead declare buffer (to store string in) array big enough biggest string expect:

char ch[512]; scanf("%s", ch);
