RE: [Dev-C++] character input without keyboard echo

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

He speaks about getch() declared in conio.h . getch() does not belong to the
standard C but is a platform extension. Use it in this way:

#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
char c=getch();

}

I saw that in Dev-C++ it has output to the screen where usually in other
compilers it does not. The only thing which is 100% is that standard C does
not provide you with input function from keyboard which has no "feedback" on
thee screen. Also about the thing i told before about fclose(stdout); was a
mistake.
 Here is a solution for your case on Dev-C++ (and probably working in many
others Windows C/C++ compilers):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

char clean_getch(void)
{
 char c=getche();
 printf("\b \b");

 return c;
}
