getchar()

作用：get a character from stdin

原型：int getchar( void );

Required Header：<stdio.h>

Compatibility：ANSI

Return value：returns the character read. To indicate an read error or end-of-file condition, getchar returns EOF. For getchar, use ferror or feof to check for an error or for end of file.

The getchar() function takes no arguments, and it returns the next character from input.

代码示例：

#include<stdio.h>int main(void)
{char c;c = getchar();  // 读取一个字符输入，并将其赋值给 cgetchar();      // 读取一个字符输入，但什么也不做，相当于丢弃了这个字符return 0;
}

下面这两行代码效果相同：

c = getchar();
scanf("%c", &c);

putchar()

作用：Writes a character to stdout.

原型：int putchar( int c );

注意 c 的类型是 int.

Parameters：c：Character to be written

Required Header：<stdio.h>

Compatibility：ANSI

Return Value：returns the character written. To indicate an error or end-of-file condition, putchar return EOF; . Use ferror or feof to check for an error or end of file.

putchar() 函数打印它的参数.

下面这条语句把 c 的值作为字符打印出来:

putchar(c);

这条语句和下面这条语句效果相同:

printf("%c", c);

putchar() 不会自动换行.

即便传递给 putchar() 一个整数, 也会被转换为字符打印.

程序示例:

#include<stdio.h>int main(void)
{char c = 97;putchar(c);printf("%c", 97);return 0;
}

结果:

aa

Because these functions deal only with characters, they are faster and more compact than the more general scanf() and printf() functions. Also, note that they don’t need format specifiers; that’s because they work with characters only. Both functions are typically defined in the stdio.h file. Also, typically, they are preprocessor macros rather than true functions.

程序示例:

输出一串字符, 如果是空格就原样输出, 否则输出它在字符表中的下一个字符.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>int main(void)
{char ch;while ((ch = getchar()) != '\n'){if (isspace(ch))printf("%c", ch);elseprintf("%c", ch + 1);  // 再次演示了字符实际上是作为数字存储的}printf("%c", ch);return 0;
}
