Data Input and Output: Mohit Arora Lecturer, LIECA LPU

This document discusses input and output functions in C. It explains that C uses streams to perform all input and output, with standard streams including stdin, stdout, and stderr. The main I/O functions covered are getchar(), putchar(), printf(), scanf(), gets(), and puts(). These functions allow reading and writing of single characters, strings, and formatted data to and from streams. Input functions like scanf() and gets() read data from stdin while output functions like printf() and puts() display data to stdout.

DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT

INPUT/OUTPUT IN C

C has no built-in statements for input or output. A library of functions is supplied to perform these operations. The I/O library functions are listed the header file <stdio.h>. You do not need to memorize them, just be familiar with them.

STREAMS

All input and output is performed with streams. A "stream" is a sequence of characters organized into lines. Each line consists of zero or more characters and ends with the "newline" character.

TYPES OF STREAMS IN C

Standard input stream is called "stdin" and is normally connected to the keyboard Standard output stream is called "stdout" and is normally connected to the display screen.

Standard error stream is called "stderr" and is also normally connected to the screen

I/O FUNCTIONS IN C
There are six i/o functions in C are: 1. getchar() 2. putchar() 3. printf() 4.scanf() 5.gets() 6.puts()

GETCHAR()
getchar(); Single character can be entered in computer using C. Example:

Char c; . C=getchar();

PUTCHAR()
putchar(); It is used to display single char. Example char c=H; putchar(c);

SCANF
scanf ( ) ; This function provides for formatted input from the keyboard. The syntax is: The format is a listing of the data types of the variables to be input and the & in front of each variable name tells the system WHERE to store the value that is input. It provides the address for the variable. Example:

scanf ( format , &var1, &var2, ) ;

float a; int b; scanf (%f%d, &a, &b

FORMAT OF DATA

Format Conversion Specifiers: d -- displays a decimal (base 10) integer l -- used with other specifies to indicate a "long" e -- displays a floating point value in exponential notation f -- displays a floating point value g -- displays a number in either "e" or "f" format c -- displays a single character s -- displays a string of characters

STRINGS
When you enter string data the compiler automatically add \0 in the end of string; Char name[22]; gets(name); ROHIT But actual value stored in computer is ROHIT\0

PRINTF

This function provides for formatted output to the screen. The syntax is:
printf ( format, var1, var2, ) ;

The format includes a listing of the data types of the variables to be output and, optionally, some text and control character(s). Example: float a ; int b ; scanf ( %f%d, &a, &b ) ; printf ( You entered %f and %d \n, a, b ) ;

GETS AND PUTS


To input a string to computer gets(name); Puts is used to display string data on screen puts(name);
