CSE101-Lec#10: Formatted and Unformatted Input/Output Functions

This document discusses unformatted input/output functions in C programming. It describes functions like getchar(), putchar(), getch(), putch(), gets(), and puts() that are used for character and string input/output. getchar() and putchar() read and write one character at a time from standard input or output. gets() and puts() are used for string input/output to read or display a string. The document provides syntax and examples for using each of these functions.

Unformatted Functions
• C has three types of I/O functions:
i. Character I/O
ii. String I/O
iii. File I/O

getchar()
• This function reads a character-type data from
standard input.
• It reads one character at a time till the user
presses the enter key.
Syntax
Variable-name = getchar();

Example:
char c;
c = getchar();
©LPU CSE101 C Programming
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char c;
printf(“enter a character”);
c=getchar();
printf(“c = %c ”,c);
}

Enter a character k
c = k

putchar()
• This function prints one character on the
screen at a time which is read by standard
input.
Syntax

putchar( variable name);

Example: char c= ‘c’;


putchar (c);

©LPU CSE101 C Programming


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char ch;
printf(“enter a character: ”);
scanf(“%c”, ch);
putchar(ch);
}

enter a character: r
r

getch() & getche()
• These functions read any alphanumeric character
from the standard input device
• The character entered is not displayed by the getch()
function until enter is pressed
• The getche() accepts and displays the character.
• The getch() accepts but does not display the
character.
Syntax

getche();

©LPU CSE101 C Programming


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf(“Enter two alphabets:”);
getche();
getch();
}
Enter two alphabets a

putch()
This function prints any alphanumeric character
taken by the standard input device
#include<stdio.h>
Example:
void main()
{
char ch;
printf(“Press any key to continue”);
ch = getch();
printf(“ you pressed:”);
putch(ch);
}

Press any key to continue


You pressed : e

gets()
String I/O
• This function is used for accepting any string
until enter key is pressed (string will be
covered later)
Syntax
char str[length of string in number];
gets(str);

©LPU CSE101 C Programming


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char ch[30];
printf(“Enter the string:”);
gets(ch);
printf(“Entered string: %s”, ch);
}

Enter the string: Use of data!


Entered string: Use of data!

puts()
• This function prints the string or character
array. It is opposite to gets()

Syntax
char str[length of string in number];
gets(str);
puts(str);

©LPU CSE101 C Programming


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char ch[30];
printf(“Enter the string:”);
gets(ch);
puts(“Entered string:”);
puts(ch);
}

Enter the string: puts is in use


Entered string: puts is in use
