Would anyone know how to put user input into a Char Array. I've provided the code below
It doesn't work so I've tried many variations like making char wrd as char wrd[20] but still nothing.
I think I'm missing a fundamental point here.

All I want to do is have a prompt which says please enter a word and then enter
three letters starting from the second character in char myarray[20]. I just want that arrary to receive
user input so I can manipulate the string later.

- The char type was the original character type in C and C. The type unsigned char is often used to represent a byte, which is not a built-in type in C. The char type can be used to store characters from the ASCII character set or any of the ISO-8859 character sets, and individual bytes of multi-byte characters such as Shift-JIS or the UTF-8.
- In C programming, the collection of characters is stored in the form of arrays, this is also supported in C programming. Hence it's called C-strings. C-strings are arrays of type char terminated with null character, that is, 0 (ASCII value of null character is 0). How to define a C-string?
Any clues as to how to go about this? Thanks
You can return a pointer for the array from a function, however you can't return pointers to local arrays, the reference will be lost. So you have 3 options.

C++ Array Of Chars
Consider below two statements in C. What is difference between two? Char s = 'geeksquiz'; char.s = 'geeksquiz'; Below are the key differences: The statements ‘char s = “geeksquiz”‘ creates a character array which is like any other array and we can do all array operations. The only special thing about this array is, although we have. The elements of an array in C can be of any type. Arrays of floats, doubles, and longs are all possible; however, arrays of characters have particular significance. Human words and sentences can be expressed as an array of characters. An array of characters containing the name Stephen would appear as char sMyName = 'S',.

C++ Char Array Size
What you have right now is a sigle letter. If you want to use a c-style string you need to define wrd like
char wrd[80]
where 80 is the number of charactures max that it can hold. You can change 80 to be what every you want but you want to make sure it is large enough to fit what you want to put into it. you also want to make sure you have enough room at the end for the null terminator that gets automaiticly instered to the end of the input.
