Overview In this assignment, the student will write a program collects individual character bytes in an array and displays a variety of resolved values from those characters. When completing this assignment, the student should demonstrate mastery of the following concepts: • Individual Character Input with scanf() • Phantom Characters and Correction Techniques • Character Arrays • Address-of Operator (&) • Output Formatting with printf() Assignment Write a program that declares an array capable of holding five characters. Initialize the array to hold blank spaces upon creation (ASCII value 3210). Prompt the user to enter 5 characters in a series of prompts with scanf() and the conversion character %c. Intentionally cause phantom characters to enter the keyboard buffer when initially coding your solution, but later demonstrate both correction techniques (absorbing the enter key AND rewind(stdin)) within your solution on different prompts. Your final submission should have the phantoms being addressed in some way everywhere corruption can potentially occur. Read the keystrokes into a character array and use that array to display the base-10 ASCII code, the character symbol, and the address of each character byte on the call stack in base-16. Keep in mind that more recent versions of the compiler will issue an error when using scanf() due do deprecation. In Visual Studio, you should suppress this warning with the following #pragma directive at the beginning of your source code: #pragma warning(disable:4996) #include int main() { // Initialize with empty spaces… char charArray[5]; char phantomAbsorb; // Get the characters from the user. // Display the information table.
