What do you mean by "position" here? did you mean its ord number? e.g. 'A' -> 65 ?

char c; scanf("%c", &c); printf("%d\n", (c - 'A') +1);

well, you could use a map and have the corresponding position be the value of your string or character key, or with a bit more work you could create a parallel array structure with a search function that return the index of the entered letter in the first array and feed it to the second array, or you could just create a single array of characters and the alphabet position be equal to your index plus 1.

No it's not ord number for example the letter "A" alphabet position is 1 like that I am asking for a A -Z. In output if I type the Letter "C" it must show the position number of the alphabet is 3
