help me! how to solve this question?

Find the first alphabetic letter from the input:
Accept a group of upper case alphabetic letters one at a time, ended with a 0, and find and display the first letter in alphabetic order. For example, input of D, G, T, S, V, G, C, K, P should result in C.
Any invalid input character (eg. #, $, 3, a, etc.) should cause an error message and be ignored.
