In this article, we will write an interactive C program that reads a person’s full name and prints it in abbreviated form(first initial, then middle initial and then last name).

Example :

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char fname[20], mname[20], lname[20];

      /* Read the full name */

     printf("Enter full name in this format (first middle last): ");

     scanf("%s %s %s", fname, mname, lname);

      /* print abbreviated name */

     printf("Abbreviated name is %c. %c. %s\n", fname[0], mname[0], lname);
    return 0;
}

Output :

Enter full name in this format (first middle last): Harry James Potter
Abbreviated name is H. J. Potter
