[Solved] What's the exact difference between getchar() and getche() functions in C++ ?

Question

Eg: In ch = getchar()
The character is inputted through the keyboard and stored in ch

And In ch = getche() The character input will be stored in ch. The typed character will be echoed on the screen

It seems both function does the same 🤷🏻‍♂️
Please help me find the difference!

NB: Some of them who answered confused the functions in the questions with other similar functions ⚠️

Edit: Finally, I came to a conclusion, my school syllabus was terribly wrong & mixing up all the answer I found the that getche() will be echoed and Enter key need not be pressed to delimit data

Answer 1

int getchar() in C++.
"...Reads the next character from stdin.

Equivalent to std::getc(stdin)."

Reference:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/getchar

But, except C, there's no "getche()" function in C++.
- you can search in this documentation:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/

Or

Try this snippet:
/* Include all header files in C++ */
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main(){
getche();
return 0;
}

Refer to this link below to know the difference of getchar() and getche() functions in C.

Answer 2

~ swim ~ thats not what Im looking for those links which redirects to websites are about C standard functions and that 1 question was different from what I ask

But bro getchar() and getche() does the same 🤷🏻‍♂️

Answer 3

Sudeep Jaiswal but bro my question was:
getchar v/s getche() ✅

and not:
getch v/s getche() ❌

Answer 4

Vinay_GB but bro my school syllabus says getche() as a function in c++ predefined library - stdio 🤷🏻‍♂️

bro, if its C standard functions but what's the difference btw those functions? 🤔

Answer 5

~ swim ~ yeah, I've visited the sites multiple times & it doesn't provides the mere difference between getchar() and getche()
those articles compared the other two functions and not what Im asking, hope you may understand ✅
and also you may to read my question and thos questions carefully,
❌ This is not duplicate question ❌

Answer 6

#DARK_PROGRAMMER_✔
Thats not my question
My question: getchar() vs getche() ✅

your answer: getchar() vs getch() ❌

don't confuse with functions bro

Perhaps, they must have made mistake. Btw, stdio.h is not C++ programming language's header file but C programming language. In C++ <cstdio> is similar to stdio.h in C.

Answer 8

Getchar() is standard function and is used in almost all compilers

Getch() is not standard rather specific with compilers like boreland international

In getchar () you must press carriage return/enter key to make it work

In getch () you can just press any key and it would take that key as input it also supports various white spaces including enter itself

While all type of white spaces especially enter is not supported by getchar ()

Getch supports all 256 ASCII chars if you have that type of keyboard

While getchar () doesn't
