How To Print Alphabet From a-z (Small Letters) in C Programming | C Programming Examples - 8

This is a very simple program for beginners to understand how loop works and how to print alphabets from a to z (Small Letters) in c programming language 

C Programming Examples:

1. Write a C Program to print alphabet from a-z (Small Letters)
2. C program to print alphabet from a-z (Small Letters) using for loop
3. How to print alphabet from a-z (Small Letters)using ASCII values in C Programming

C Program to Print Alphabet from a-z (Small Letters) :

// C program to find the print
// Alphabets from a to z

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	// Declare the variables
	char ch;

	printf("The Alphabets from a to z are: \n");

	// Traverse each character
	for (ch = 'a'; ch <= 'z'; ch++) {

		// Print the alphabet
		printf("%c ", ch);
	}

	return 0;
}

Output: 

The Alphabets from a to z are: 
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 

Explanation of  Print Alphabet From a-z (Small Letters) in C:

Declare a character variable, say ch .

Initialize loop counter variable from ch = 'a' , that goes till ch <= 'z' , increment the loop by 1 in each iteration. The loop structure should look like for(ch='a'; ch<='z'; ch++) .

Inside the loop body print the value of ch .

C Program to Print Alphabet From a-z using ASCII values :

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int i;
  printf("The Alphabets from a to z are: \n");
  for(i=97;i<=122;i++)
  {
    printf("%c",i);
  }
} 

Output: 

The Alphabets from a to z are: 
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 

Explanation of  Print Alphabet From a-z (Small Letters) using ASCII in C :

Here we declared an integer i.

Now this program is same as printing numbers from 97 to 122.

But if you can remember the "ASCII" values of 97 which resembles 'a' and 122 which resembles 'z' as in ascii sheet. To refer ASCII Values click here.

So instead of "%d " if we use "%c" it is converted to ascii value.
