Given below is a code to enter a password.A $ sign is entered 2 indicate end of password.
But how do i modify this code if i want to press ENTER after password is input. How does getch interpret ENTER ?Code:printf(" Enter Password : ); while( ((pwde[i] = getch()) != '$' ) ) { printf ("*"); i++; } pwde[i]='\0';
Change '$' to '\n'

i was trying the problem given by hello and changed '$' to '\n' but that doesn't worked.Change '$' to '\n'
I got the solution. Replace '$' with 13. That is the ASCII value of ENTER.
That is a bad solution because it is not descriptive (and not portable, but then getch() is not portable and ASCII is likely). You should use cpjust's solution, or a variant of it where you use '\r' (which is 13 in ASCII).Originally Posted by hello

Damn, I keep mixing up \r & \n
Why do they even need both of them anyways? I think it must be some throwback to ancient manual typewriters or something.
