    testing for symbols

    Is it possible for C to test and see if the "*", "+", "-", and the "/" key are pressed (just the math functions). And if it is how could you go about doing it?

    If you mean at the console, read in character press into an int variable, and then do a test.

    Code:
    int c;
    
    ....
    
    c = getchar();
    if(c == '*')
    {
    	/* '*' was pressed. */
    }
    If you mean asynchronously whenever the keys are pressed, then you gotta do it differently.
