When I run the below program, I do not get any output.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello");
while(1)
{
}
return 0;
}
whereas if i edit the printf command to add a '\\n' character to the end of the string, then the expected output comes. what is going on in the first code? I simply cannot understand it.
This is because stdout is line buffered , ie the output is not written to the device (the terminal) until a full line has been collected.
You can call fflush(stdout);
to force a flush of the buffer to the terminal. Do not try to flushing stdin
by the way, that's not allowed.
try
printf("hello\n");
or
printf("hello");
fflush(stdout)
You should print a newline at the end of the output. Otherwise it will invoke undefined behavior (at least potentially undefined).
Use printf("hello\\n");
