Important Functions for Character I/O
What is getc()?
The getc() reads one character from any input and then returns the
corresponding value of the integer on success (typically, the ASCII
value of the read character). On failure, it then returns the EOF.

Here, Syntax:
int getc(FILE *stream);

Important Functions for Character I/O
What is getchar()?
The primary difference between the getchar() and getc() is that the
getc() is capable of reading from any input scheme, while the
getchar() is capable of reading from the standard input. Hence,
getchar() becomes equivalent to the getc(stdin).

Here, Syntax:

int getchar(void);

Important Functions for Character I/O
What is getch()?
The getch() is a type of non-standard function which is present in
the file of conio.h. Mostly, the MS-DOS compilers utilize it, like the
Turbo C. It does not fall into a part of the standard library of C or ISO
C. It is capable of reading a single character from any given
keyboard. Since it doesn’t make use of any buffer, the entered
character returns immediately without having to wait for the enter
key.
Here, Syntax:
int getch();

What is getche()?
Just like gentch(), the getche() is also a non-standard type of
function that is present in the conio.h file. It is capable of reading
one character from any given keyboard and displaying it
immediately on the output screen without the character having to
wait for the enter key.

Here, Syntax:

int getche(void);

Important Functions for Character I/O
What is putchar()?
putchar() function is used to write a character on standard
output/screen. In a C program, we can use putchar function as
below.
Syntax:
putchar(char);

where, char is a character variable/value.

Declaration: int putchar(int char)

Important Functions for Character I/O
What is putc()?
putc( ) function is used for writing a character into a file.

The syntax for putc() function is as follows −


putc (char ch, FILE *fp);

For example,

FILE *fp;
char ch;
putc(ch, fp);
