Distinguish getchar and gets.

Answer 1

getchar is a character function but gets is a string function. The header file cstdio must be included. It reads a character from the keyboard. 

Eg.

ch=getchar();

cout<<ch;

gets is used to read a string from the key board. It reads the characters upto enter key. 

The header file 

cstdio must be included. 

char str[80];

cout<<” Enter a string”; 

gets(str);
