What do you mean you dont wanna print the value just the character???
If you wanna print a you have to assign it as a value for the
variable a.

char a='a';

Like PennyBoki said, you need to assign a value to your variable a:

The full program would be:

CODE

#include <stdio.h> /* Needed for the print function */

void main(void)
{
char a='b'; /* Sets the variable a to equal character b Note: I am using b to highlight how this will work */
printf("%c", a); /* This should print the character b */
printf("\n"); /* Prints a blank line, this is not needed but will make this program easier to read once compiled */
}
