Answer:

C code is given below

Explanation:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

  printf("Input:");

  int ch;

  int valid=1; // it is set as 1 initially if anything is wrong it is changed to 0

  ch=getchar();

  if(ch!='#') // it checks if it starts with #

  {

      valid=0;

  }

while((ch = getchar())!= '\n') // this loop runs till line ends

  {

if((ch>='a'&&ch<='z')||(ch>='A'&&ch<='Z')||(ch>='0'&&ch<='9')||(ch=='_')) // if conditions are matched then its okay

{

   

  }

  else // else valid is changed to 0 from 1

  {

     valid=0;

  }

}

if(valid==0) // if anywhere there is anything wrong then it prints not valid

{

  printf("It is not valid hashtag");

  }

  else // else prints valid

  {

      printf("It is a valid hastag");

  }

}
