This is the code I am using.

I wanna know why I am getting this kinda output moreover different output in online compiler and macOS.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
    int variable;
    printf("Enter\n");
    scanf("%[^\n]",&variable);
    printf("char = %c\n",variable);
    printf("int = %d\n",variable);
    return 0;
}

online C compiler replit.com macOS terminal

Undefined behaviour leads to different results on different machines, and both are equally correct. You can't read a string into a pointer to integer reliably. – Jonathan Leffler Aug 15 '22 at 05:50
I am voting to close as typo/thinko/UB. – Yunnosch Aug 15 '22 at 05:54
