Getch Refresh? Simple Problems with Getch()

I use DevC++
and I have 2 problems

Code:

---

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


main()
{
      int x = getch();
     
      printf("1st getch = %d",x);
      getch();
      printf("2nd getch = %d",x);
      getch();
      printf("3rd getch = %d",x);
     
}

---

First Problem: When I declare x = getch(); the getch there is not excluded, I mean you still need to put a value to go to the next statement. Is it possible skipping it in declaring for a variable?

Second Problem: The value of the my first getch() will be the value of all getch, I need a way to refresh it or delete the value of it.
For Example: I press Enter
Ascii Value of Enter is 13
Output would be:

1st Getch = 13
2nd Getch = 13 //I press other keys
3rd Getch = 13 //I press a different key

What I want is like
Output:

1st Getch = 13
2nd Getch = ## //The Ascii Value of another key
3rd Getch = ## // The Ascii Value of another key

Please Help :(. I'm trying to solve this for 2 hours now, I tried fflush(stdin) but it wont work.

If you want to keep track of the key that getch is returning, you need to assign it to something. The line where you declare a variable doesn't magically make it refresh every time getch() is called.

Code:

---

int first, second, third;

first = getch();
second = getch();
third = getch();

---

Assigns three different return calls to the appropriate variables.


Quzah.

But Wait. If I did that the declaration of getch in the variables will not be excluded

Code:

---

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


main()
{
      int x = getch(),y = getch(),z = getch();
     
      getch();
      printf("1st getch = %d",x);
      getch();
      printf("2nd getch = %d",y);
      getch();
      printf("3rd getch = %d",z);
      getch();
}

---

Here you will see I want is, before the printf It will ask the getch()
Before printf First Getch, that value of getch I want for my printf First Getch
Not the vualue in my declarations :(

Code:

---

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


main()
{
      int x = getch();
     
      printf("1st getch = %d",x);
      x = getch();
      printf("2nd getch = %d",x);
      x = getch();
      printf("3rd getch = %d",x);
     
}

And you should be using getchar() not getch()

If I use getchar() I need to press Enter to execute it

Ok my project is like object oriented or a cheat way of having one

Like If I press left key the left box will have a border and if I press enter it will go to a function vice versa to the right

I use getch() because I don't need to press Enter when I input a key stroke :(

Ok... but you still need to capture the return value of the call *every single time*.

Code:

---

while (1)
  {  switch( getch() )
      {
          case '1' :
              printf("Function #1");
              break;
          case '2' :
              printf("Function #2");
              break;

          // and more cases as needed

          case 'Q' :
              printf("Bye Bye For Now!);
              exit(0);
          default :
              printf("Unrecognized entry"); } }

---

And... what you are writing is not even close to object oriented sillyness ... er, I mean "code"... what you are trying to emulate is a windows message queue... and in that case why not use the real deal?

Ok but How will I put it Arrow Keys?
Your solution is great but my problem now is arrow keys

Damn I got it, Thanks dude, I found a way. I convert it to be a int :)

New Problem :(

Arrow Keys give two values(I think) cause It activate Case 224 and Default :(
Both are showing up
