std::fputc, std::putc - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Writes a character ch to the given output stream stream.

Internally, the character is converted to unsigned char just before being written.

In C, putc() may be implemented as a macro, which is disallowed in C++. Therefore, calls to std::fputc() and std::putc() always have the same effect.

[edit] Parameters

ch - character to be written
stream - output stream

[edit] Return value

On success, returns the written character.

On failure, returns EOF and sets the error indicator (see std::ferror()) on stream.

[edit] Example

#include   int main() { for (char c = 'a'; c != 'z'; c++) std::putc(c, stdout);   // putchar's return value is not equal to the argument int r = 0x102A; std::printf("\nr = 0x%x\n", r);   r = std::putchar(r); std::printf("\nr = 0x%x\n", r); }

Possible output:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy r = 0x102A * r = 0x2A
