Formatted and Unformatted Functions Continus

This document discusses unformatted input/output functions in C including getchar() and putchar() for character I/O, gets() and puts() for string I/O, and getch() and putch() for alphanumeric character input and output. It provides the syntax and examples of using each function to read input from and write output to the standard input/output devices one character or string at a time.

Formatted and Unformatted Input/Output

Functions
Outline
• Unformatted Input/Output functions
– getchar()
– putchar()
– getch()
– putch()
– gets()
– puts()
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();
#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);
#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();
#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
Example:
#include<stdio.h>
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);
#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);
#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
