C Program to Display Characters from A to Z Using Loop

You will learn to display the English alphabets using for loop in this example.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

• C if, if...else and Nested if...else Statement
• C Programming while and do...while Loop

Example #1: Program to Display English Alphabets

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char c;

    for(c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; ++c)
       printf("%c ", c);
    
    return 0;
}

Output

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

In this program, the for loop is used to display the English alphabets in uppercase.

Here's a little modification of the above program to display the English alphabets in either uppercase or lowercase depending upon the input from the user. Read - Programming language

Example #2: Program to Display English Alphabets in Uppercase and Lowercase

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char c;

    printf("Enter u to display alphabets in uppercase. And enter l to display alphabets in lowercase: ");
    scanf("%c", &c);

    if(c== 'U' || c== 'u')
    {
       for(c = 'A'; c <= 'Z'; ++c)
         printf("%c ", c);
    }
    else if (c == 'L' || c == 'l')
    {
        for(c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; ++c)
         printf("%c ", c);
    }
    else
       printf("Error! You entered invalid character.");
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter u to display alphabets in uppercase. And enter l to display alphabets in lowercase: l
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
