sumtimes the program is taking ctrl+c as EOF but other times as kill command..

thts y i m curious abt wat's actually happening

btw where have u posted the corrected program

Right here:
pls help urgently

Your program wouldn't end right because you had EOF with single quotation marks, around them.

We told you that, and we told you that was wrong, and we posted the corrected program code.

But you argue on...

Ctrl + c just *SEEMS* like it works - but here's the thing: the keyboard buffer is only read and gives input to the operating system, so many times each second. So when you press ctrl + c it may *seem* like it's acting differently, maybe like it's being accepted as EOF by your program:

It is not!

It's just that exactly *when* your program is terminated by the ctrl+c, is not going to always be at exactly the same moment, each time. Each keystroke has to be intercepted and read by the OS, and then put into a queue to have that request, done.

How about something else?

Code:

#define ESC 27  //just below your #include files - note - no semi-colon!

int c = 0;
while((c=getchar()) != ESC) {
   //any other loop logic, in here
}

Try that and see if you like it.

thnx ben..i've already figured tht out in my prev post...im sorry to people for not figuring it out with the buffer..sorry 4 all the bad blood...but thnx for helping

Please, try to avoid the use of 'text speak' in the forums; abbreviated writing is not particularly helpful, and many people find it extremely annoying. In fact, many tech forums forbid the use of this kind of thing. For myself, I am not inclined at all to help people who refuse to type words properly, because I cannot take them seriously. Relating to this, Eric Raymond maintains an article called How to Ask Questions the Smart Way. You will find there some useful advice regarding asking for help on the internet. If you practice what you read, I am fairly certain you will not be annoying people nearly as much as you did in this thread. In particular, read this section:

Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
