I've only started using C and have a question about using characters like someones name in c instead of integers, here i have a simple grading program below, how would i go about using say someones name instead of a number to comment about that particular name and if a different name is entered a different message would show?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

C++

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main()

{
int grade;

printf("Enter Your Grade:");
scanf_s("%d", &grade);

     if (grade &gt;= 60)
     {
       printf("You passed");
     }
     else 
     {
      printf("Hard Luck You Failed");
     }
     _getch();
}

Words in C are character strings.
This will explain:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_strings.htm[^]

and here:
http://www.tenouk.com/clabworksheet/labworksheet6.html[^]

So from this link:

C

// name is an array variable, more on this later...

// means reserve 65 bytes of storage including terminated

// string, '\0'

char  Initial, Name[65];

// some prompt to user...

printf("Input name, initial and deposit:\n");

printf("What is your name? ");

// read the user input and store the data at...

scanf("%64s", Name);
