std::putchar

Defined in header <cstdio>
int putchar( int ch );

Writes a character ch to stdout. Internally, the character is converted to unsigned char just before being written.

Equivalent to putc(ch, stdout).

Parameters

ch - character to be written

Return value

On success, returns the written character.

On failure, returns EOF and sets the error indicator (see ferror()) on stdout.

Example

#include <cstdio>
 
int main()
{
    for (char c = 'a'; c != 'z'; c++)
        std::putchar(c);
    std::putchar('\n');
 
    // putchar return value is not equal to the argument
    int r = 0x1070;
    std::printf("\n0x%x\n", r);
    r = std::putchar(r);
    std::printf("\n0x%x\n", r);
}

Output:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
0x1070
p
0x70
