It is not a question, because it is inbuilt by authors of c(dennis ritchie &brian kernighan) it is inevitable you cannot change it or question it.
Actually, getch is not part of the standard C run time library, it belongs to curses (unix) or conio (DOS). iostrem is not part of the C-rtl either, because it is C++
There is a 'getch' in 'conio.h' which has nothing to do with 'iostream'.
By writing console header file, if you mean to say about conio.h, then conio.h contains functions related to console input and output like clrscr() to clear the screen, getch() to get a character without enter key being pressed, getche() same as getch() but it shows the character entered.
conio.h is a library function which is predefined in the header file and 'clrscr();','getch();' and many other functions come under this.
the use of header files is to add functionality. Header files are basically saying put code in that header file here so you don't have to type that many lines of code.
dnf install ncurses-devel
#include <stdio.h> #include<conio> void main () {int a,i:, printf("\n The Multiplication table of 5 is n"):, For(i=1;i=20;i++) Printf("%d",a*i); getch(); }
#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main(void) { int sum=0,n,i; clrscr(); printf("\n Enter two no."); scanf("%d%d",&n,&i); sum=n+i; printf("\n%d+%d=%d,n,i,sum); getch(); return 0; }
The purpose of getch() is to input a single character from the input stream.
what is getch()and their useFunction getch waits for a single keypress (without line-buffering and echoing).In: ncruses.h (unix) or conio.h (dos).
getch() takes one char from keyboard but it will be invisible to us. in other words we can say that it waits until press any key from keyboard.getch() is a function which has its protype defined in conio.h header file.it is basically used to take input a single characterfrom keyboard. and this char is not displayed at the screen.it waits until itn gets a input that's why it can be used as a screen stopper.
Without the semi-colon, getch is just an expression, not a statement.
