what is the difference between getch() & getche()

[Al Balmer]

<OT> It predates Borland, and is "getch() with echo."

Now, you may ask, what is getch()? It's off-topic.

nono, "etch" was much more interesting. I mean, which programmer ever
cornered someone at a party and offered chance to see their getchings?

Being as no one else in this group is willing to help you,
I've decided to take a stab at it myself.

Your question:
what is the difference between getch() & getche()

The answer you've been patiently waiting for:
The second function has an 'e' at the end of the name
and the first one does not.

HTH,

getch(): reads a char from the keyboard. It doesn't echoes it to the
screen. getche(): reads a char from the keyboard and echoes it to screen.

In Zog C, getch() GETs a Cluster from the Hard disk - or at least it did
back in 1999.

And getche() summons a Cuban revolutionary?

What do you mean? I posted a reply with an implementation of both
getch and getche in standard C about 30 hours ago.

It is my opinion that telling a joke twice doesn't make it any funnier. If
they didn't appreciate it on the first telling, they are unlikely to enjoy
it any more the second time they hear it.
