Answer 1

1. Converting int to char by type casting

Source File charConvertByCasting.c

#include 

int main(){
    int i = 66;              // ~~Type Casting Syntax~~
    printf("%c", (char) i); //  (type_name) expression
    return 0;
}

Executable charConvertByCasting.exe command line output:

C:\Users\boqsc\Desktop\tcc>tcc -run charconvert.c
B
