How to Write a c program using string functions that accepts a coded value of an item and display its equivalent tag price? Can someone enlighten me how you guys did it??

The base of the key is:

X C O M P U T E R S

Sample input/output dialogue:

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX_STRING_SIZE 1024

int main()
{
    int i;
    char buffer[MAX_STRING_SIZE];

    printf("Enter coded value: ");
    fgets (buffer, MAX_STRING_SIZE, stdin);

    printf("Tag price:         ");
    
    for(i = 0; i < strlen(buffer); ++i)
    {
        switch(buffer[i])
        {
            case 'X' : printf("0"); break;
            case 'C' : printf("1"); break;
            case 'O' : printf("2"); break;
            case 'M' : printf("3"); break;
            case 'P' : printf("4"); break;
            case 'U' : printf("5"); break;
            case 'T' : printf("6"); break;
            case 'E' : printf("7"); break;
            case 'R' : printf("8"); break;
            case 'S' : printf("9"); break;
            default:   printf("%c", buffer[i]); break;
        }
    }

    return 0;
