The document discusses unformatted input/output functions in C including getchar(), putchar(), getch(), putch(), gets(), and puts(). It provides the syntax and examples of using each function. getchar() and getch() read a single character from standard input while puts() and putchar() output a single character. gets() and puts() are for string input/output, with gets() reading a string and puts() writing one.

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 Syntax
enter key.
Variable-name =
getchar();

Example:
char c;
©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 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”);
Press any key to continue
You pressed : e
ch = getch();

gets()
String I/O
• This function is used for accepting any string.

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:”);


Enter the string: Use of data!
gets(ch);
Entered string: Use of data!

printf(“Entered
©LPU CSE101 C Programming string: %s”,
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:”);

Enter the string: puts is in use


puts(ch);
Entered string: puts is in use
}
