Write a C program to print the first and last character of a string.

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

  int main() {
        char string[256];

        /* get the input string from the user */
        printf("Enter your input string:");
        fgets(string, 256, stdin);
        string[strlen(string) - 1] = '\0';

        /* printing first character in input string */
        printf("First Character in the given input string:");
        printf("%c\n", string[0]);

        /* printing last character in input string */
        printf("Last Character in the given input string:");
        printf("%c\n", string[strlen(string) - 1]);

        return 0;
  }

  Output:
