    input string of unknown length in c

    is it even possible to write a program in c that prints out string input if unknown length to output only using getchar() and putchar()?

    Do you mean like this?
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    
    int main() {
        int ch;
        while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF) {
            if (islower(ch))
                ch = toupper(ch);
            putchar(ch);
        }
        return 0;
    }

    I didn't realize something so basic could be an "assignment". But the answer's there. It just has more than you need.
