Which type used stdio.h function

Question

studio.h

Answer 1

I'm assuming you think stdio.h is a function. It's not, it's a library containing functions.

Answer 2

Ben Allen (Njinx) It's actually just a header. The header is an _interface_ to the _implementation_ (which is often already compiled). Just a technicality, but important for exams/interviews :)

Answer 3

nonzyro Yes you're correct, stdio.h is a header, but it links many files together containing functions.

Answer 4

nonzyro It is a library, it deals with IO.

Answer 5

Ben Allen (Njinx) It's badly worded. Let me explain:
foo is a library,
foo.h is a header for that library, it provides an interface.

^ Contains no functions, just declarations.
stdio.h = header.
stdio = library (part of C standard library).

Answer 6

nonzyro I understand that stdio.h is just a header file, but I assume he's asking about stdio as a whole, not just the header file.

Answer 7

Ben Allen (Njinx) Oh, maybe I got the wrong idea because he said "stdio.h". People can be confusing. TBH, I'm not sure he even knows what he's asking :P

Answer 8

nonzyro "TBH, I'm not sure he even knows what he's asking :P". Yup, that about sums up SoloLearn's discussion section 😂😂

Answer 9

No, not studio.
stdio.h
It's a header for STanDard In/Out functions, hence the name, like printf().
You can check the site cppreference or cplusplus for a list of all functionality from this header.

Answer 10

I know but how to declare or initialize and use .??

Answer 11

You include the header:

For C:
#include <stdio.h>

For C++:
#include <cstdio>

Then use functions as per spec.

Ben Allen (Njinx) It's not a library though. It's a part of the C Standard Library.
