Printf additional newline with inserting a string value in printf

Question

printf("It is currently %s's turn.\n", current->name);

I'm wondering why this is printing out additional newline after the %s. I am aware that strings in C always ends with \\0. How do I print it without it?

Answer 1

Your variable current->name has a newline in it, so you need to get rid of that newline.

current->name[strcspn(current->name, "\n")] = '\0';

This piece of code will help you get rid of the unwanted newline. Put it before printf .
