Question

I'm just starting out in C, and have only learned if statements, while loops, and how to use scanf, printf, int, char, float, and few others.

the assignment i am tasked to write, for example, asks to take a few inputs from the user and do some calculatoin then outputs something else. Take for example a program that looks like this when it is run (say from visual studio during testing):

What is your teachers name?
<user input>
How many classes is your teacher conducting this semester?
<user input>
How many years has your teacher been teaching?
<user input>
Your teacher is named <whatever user inputted for name>, has been teaching for <number of years>, and taught approximately <number of classes teaching times years teaching> based on the information you submitted.

This is not the program i need to write, but only an example of what i need. My main questions are, how do i ask for a name that is not numbers (like only characters), and have the system read it, then output it later when instructed to?
Also, how do i instruct the computer to ONLY output up to TWO decimal places. for example what if the user inputted "3.5678" for years taught. Should I use a loop that would ask the user to reinput using only up to two decimal places. less than two decimal places is fine (like 3.51, or 3.4, or 3123).

thanks!

Explanation / Answer

for getting names u have to use character arrays as follows

char name[50];

above name is a variable that can hold up to 50 characters.

ask user name using printf

printf(" Enter your name ");

scanf("%s",name); now u will save name in name variable

infact while scanning u can scan upto only two decimal places.

float a;

scanf("%.2f",&a);

now a will read only upto 2 decimals points.

if u want any more help .i will.
