The, within the for loop, each character in the string is checked if it's an alphabet or not. If any character inside a string is not a alphabet, all characters after it including the null character is shifted by 1 position to the left. #include<stdio.h> int main() { char line[150]; int x, j; printf("Enter a string: "); gets(line); for(x = 0; line[x] != '\0'; ++x) { while (!( (line[x] >= 'a' && line[x] <= 'z') || (line[x] >= 'A' && line[x] <= 'Z') || line[x] == '\0') ) { for(j = x; line[j] != '\0'; ++j) { line[j] = line[j+1]; } line[j] = '\0'; } } printf("Output String: "); puts(line); return 0; }
