Hi how write this in c?, could i use this it´s ok, (c and gnuplot) /./ #include stdio.h #include h #define GNUPLOTPATH 'D:/instaladores. This maybe because the c compiler is designed to work in linux.I had this problem too and to fix it go to tools and select compiler options.In the box click on programs. Now you will see a tab with gcc and make and the respective path to it.Edit the gcc and make path to use mingw32-c.exe and mingw32-make.exe respectively.Now it will work. I am using VS.NET 2005 Acemdemic Edition, and have been trying to learn C/C and everything I do works fine. The problem is with the stdio.h header file, which just sprung up when I tried to re-build my application, it had worked fine until this point.

The stdio.h header defines three variable types, several macros, and various functions for performing input and output.
Library Variables
Following are the variable types defined in the header stdio.h −
| Sr.No. | Variable & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | size_t This is the unsigned integral type and is the result of the sizeof keyword. |
| 2 | FILE This is an object type suitable for storing information for a file stream. |
| 3 | fpos_t This is an object type suitable for storing any position in a file. |
Library Macros
Following are the macros defined in the header stdio.h −
| Sr.No. | Macro & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | NULL This macro is the value of a null pointer constant. |
| 2 | _IOFBF, _IOLBF and _IONBF These are the macros which expand to integral constant expressions with distinct values and suitable for the use as third argument to the setvbuf function. |
| 3 | BUFSIZ This macro is an integer, which represents the size of the buffer used by the setbuf function. |
| 4 | EOF This macro is a negative integer, which indicates that the end-of-file has been reached. |
| 5 | FOPEN_MAX This macro is an integer, which represents the maximum number of files that the system can guarantee to be opened simultaneously. |
| 6 | FILENAME_MAX This macro is an integer, which represents the longest length of a char array suitable for holding the longest possible filename. If the implementation imposes no limit, then this value should be the recommended maximum value. |
| 7 | L_tmpnam This macro is an integer, which represents the longest length of a char array suitable for holding the longest possible temporary filename created by the tmpnam function. |
| 8 | SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END, and SEEK_SET These macros are used in the fseek function to locate different positions in a file. |
| 9 | TMP_MAX This macro is the maximum number of unique filenames that the function tmpnam can generate. |
| 10 | stderr, stdin, and stdout These macros are pointers to FILE types which correspond to the standard error, standard input, and standard output streams. |
Library Functions
Following are the functions defined in the header stdio.h −
Follow the same sequence of functions for better understanding and to make use of Try it(Online compiler) option, because file created in the first function will be used in subsequent functions.
Stdio File
| Sr.No. | Function & Description |

| 10 | int fseek(FILE *stream, long int offset, int whence) Sets the file position of the stream to the given offset. The argument offset signifies the number of bytes to seek from the given whence position. |
| 11 | int fsetpos(FILE *stream, const fpos_t *pos) Sets the file position of the given stream to the given position. The argument pos is a position given by the function fgetpos. |

| 13 | size_t fwrite(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream) Writes data from the array pointed to by ptr to the given stream. |
| 14 | int remove(const char *filename) Deletes the given filename so that it is no longer accessible. |
| 15 | int rename(const char *old_filename, const char *new_filename) Causes the filename referred to, by old_filename to be changed to new_filename. |
| 16 | void rewind(FILE *stream) Sets the file position to the beginning of the file of the given stream. |
| 17 | void setbuf(FILE *stream, char *buffer) Defines how a stream should be buffered. |
| 18 | int setvbuf(FILE *stream, char *buffer, int mode, size_t size) Another function to define how a stream should be buffered. |

Function getch in C program prompts a user to press a character. It doesn't show up on the screen. Its declaration is in 'conio.h' header file. The function is not a part of standard C library.
C programming code for getch
#include <stdio.h>C Stdio File
#include <conio.h>int main()
{
printf('Waiting for a character to be pressed from the keyboard to exit.n');
getch();
return0;
}
When you run this program, it exits only when you press a character. Try pressing num lock, shift key, etc. (program will not exit if you press these keys) as these are not characters.
Try running the program by removing getch. In this case, it will exit without waiting for a character hit from the keyboard.
How to use getch in C++
#include <iostream.h>#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
cout <<'Enter a character';
getch();
}
Using getch in Dev C++ compiler
Dev C Include Stdio H Compilation Terminated
Function getch works in Dev C++ compiler but it doesn't support all functions of 'conio.h' as Turbo C compiler does.
Turbo C Include Stdio H
Function getchar in C
Include Stdio Visual Studio
#include <stdio.h>int main()
{
int c;
c =getchar();
putchar(c);
return0;
}
Dev C Include Stdio H Meaning
A common use of getch is you can view the output (if any) of a program without having to open the output window if you are using Turbo C compiler or if you are not running your program from the command prompt.
