Hello alex1050,
Try giving if-else statement for '-' also. I think then it would work.

Not really a question?? Explain what u want properly.. The code above shows me nothing except that you have it set up like a telephone thats all.. and it prints a corresponding number when the person types a letter..

What exactly do u want?

you can do something like after the first character is pressed, printf("-") then after 3 characters is pressed do the same and then another three
