[c] How to convert a string to character array in c (or) how to extract a single char form string?

In C, there's no (real, distinct type of) strings. Every C "string" is an array of chars, zero terminated.

Therefore, to extract a character c at index i from string your_string, just use

char c = your_string[i];

Index is base 0 (first character is your_string[0], second is your_string[1]...).
