Why can't I use char type with scanf() and do the void pointer in C language?

I was learning Void pointers and tried to make the code with scanf(), but the code wouldn't print the char. Please help https://code.sololearn.com/c3927x2fvs8G/?ref=app

Manthan Gohel Try adding a space in between each format specifier in the `scanf` call. e.g. scanf("%d %f %c", &x, &y, &c);

Ipang Now it's working, Thank you. But I tried with 2 scanf() one for int and float and second for char, but it didn't worked then.

~ swim ~ I was wondering, is casting necessary when assigning an address of variable into a void pointer? In the code ... void *ptr; ... ptr = &x; My doubt is ... is it necessary to cast the address as void pointer? ptr = (void*)&x;
