Title: C Programming
Post by Robert09 on Sep 17^th, 2015, 1:04am

Hi all. I have one question about C programming. Is it possible to multiply a char and an int?

char hash = '#'
int hashNumber = 3

hash * hashNumber

Thanks

The easiest way to find out is to try.
C is quite happy to interpret a char as an 8-bit integer, so yeah, multiplying them is not a problem. Whether the result is what you'd expect is another question; the result will be different than if you try the same thing in python.
