How can I take a few chars and print it as a one word

Question

I need help in C, I need to build a software that takes from the user (input) 3 chars and then print it as a word. For example the user enters:

A
B
C

then the software should print ABC.

I tried doing it on this method:

printf("%c %c %c",char1,char2,char3);

but the issue is that it printed it like:

A,B,C

If anyone has any idea how can I print it as a one word it would be awesome. Thanks.

Hmm... there's no way `printf("%c %c %c",char1,char2,char3)` produces `A,B,C` as output... — Marco Bonelli, Nov 08 '21 at 20:05
Your code prints `A B C` If you don't want the spaces just do `printf("%c%c%c",char1,char2,char3);` — Support Ukraine, Nov 08 '21 at 20:08
Please post a [Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) to confirm the output of your current attempt is as you say. — Oka, Nov 08 '21 at 20:08

Some methods:

int main(void)
{
    char a = 'A', b = 'B', c = 'C';
    char d[] = {'D','E','F'};
    char e[4];

    //print as one word - separate variables
    printf("%c%c%c\n", a, b, c);

    //print as one word - array of chars (not the C string)
    for(size_t i = 0; i < sizeof(d); i++)
    {
        printf("%c", d[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");

    //make string and print it
    e[0] = a;
    e[1] = b;
    e[2] = c;
    e[3] = 0;

    printf("%s\n", e);
}

Write

scanf(" %c %c %c", &char1, &char2, &char3);
printf("%c%c%c\n",char1,char2,char3);
