getche in c

getche function prompts the user to press a character and that character is printed on screen.

C code for getche
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

{
   printf("Waiting for a character to be pressed from the keyboard to exit.");

   getche();
   return 0;

Operators And Separators In C Language Operators in C Language:

Below are various operators available in C Programming language.  They are used to perform operations arithmetic, logical, relational, bitwise, assignment, etc.  We will see more about all the below operators in details in the forth coming chapters.

Difference between asterisk and ampersand operators in c

Address Operator (& - Ampersand): Returns address of the given variable.  Consider the following example, int *ptr, var = 10; ptr = &var; ptr = &var sets the address of the variable var to pointer ptr.  & is also called as reference operator. Let us try to understand the purpose of reference operator using the following example program.   #include <stdio.h>   int main() {         int var = 10, *ptr;         /* assigning address of variable var to pointer ptr */         ptr = &var;         /* printing the address of the variable var */         printf("Address of var is 0x%x\n", &var);         /* printing the value of pointer ptr */         printf("Value of ptr is 0x%x\n", ptr);         return 0;   }   Output:   jp@jp-VirtualBox:~/$ ./a.out   Address of var is 0xbfdf202c   Value of ptr is 0xbfdf202c Indirection Operator('*' - asterisk): The dereference operator is an unary operator which returns the value of
