The function fflush(stdin) is used to flush the output buffer of the stream. It returns zero, if successful otherwise, returns EOF and feof error indicator is set.Here is the syntax of fflush(stdin) in C language,int fflush(FILE *stream);Here is an example of fflush(stdin) in C language,Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    char s[20] = "Helloworld";    printf("The string : %s", s);    fflush(stdin);    return 0; }OutputThe string : Helloworld

The function ispunct() is used to check that the passing character is a punctuation or not. It returns zero, if it is not a punctuation, otherwise it returns a non-zero value.Here is the syntax of ispunct() in C language, int ispunct(int character);Here is an example of ispunct() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    int a = '!';    int b = 'a';    if(ispunct(a))    printf("The character is a punctuation.");    else    printf("The character is not a punctuation.");    if(ispunct(b))    printf("The character is a punctuation.");    else    printf("The character is not a ...

The function strspn() is used to calculate the length of substring of first string which is present in second string. It returns the length of that substring.Here is the syntax of strspn() in C language,size_t strspn(const char *string1, const char *string2);Here is an example of strspn() in C language,Example Live Demo#include #include int main() {    const char s1[] = "Helloworld!";    const char s2[] = "Hello";    int length = strspn(s1, s2);    printf("The length of string : %d", length);    return 0; }OutputThe length of string : 5

The function strcoll() is used to compare two strings using locale - specific collating sequence.It returns −zero, when both strings are same, greater than zero value when first string is greater than otherless than zero value, when first string is less than other.Here is the syntax of strcoll() in C language, int strcoll(const char *first_string, const char *second_string);Here is an example of strcoll() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main () {    const char s1[] = "Helloworld";    const char s2[] = "Blank";    char *result;    result = strcoll(s1, s2);    if(result > 0)   ...

The function strpbrk() is used to find the first character of first string and matches it to any character of second string. It returns NULL, if no matches are found otherwise, it returns a pointer to the character of first string that matches to the character of second string.Here is the syntax of strpbrk() in C language, char *strpbrk(const char *string1, const char *string2)Here is an example of strpbrk() in C language, Example Live Demo#include #include int main () {    const char s1[] = "Helloworld";    const char s2[] = "Blank";    char *result;    result = strpbrk(s1, ...

Function scanf()The function scanf() is used to read formatted input from stdin in C language. It returns the whole number of characters written in it otherwise, returns a negative value.Here is the syntax of scanf() in C language, int scanf(const char *characters_set)Here is an example of scanf() in C language, Example Live Demo#include int main () {    char s[20];    printf("Enter a string : ");    scanf("%s", s);    printf("Entered string : %s", s);    return(0); }OutputEnter a string : Peter! Entered string : Peter!Function fscanf()The function fscanf() is used to read the formatted input from the given stream ... Read More

Format Specifier %dThe format specifier %d takes integer value as a signed decimal integer value which means values should be decimal whether it is negative or positive.Here is an example of format specifier %d in C language, Example Live Demo#include int main() {    int v1 = 7456;    int v2 = -17346;    printf("The value in decimal form : %d", v1);    printf("The value in negative : %d", v2);    return 0; }OutputThe value in decimal form : 7456 The value in negative : -17346Format Specifier %iThe format specifier %i takes integer value as an integer value which means ...

atol() FunctionThe function atol() converts string into a long integer. It returns zero, when no conversion is performed. It returns the converted long int value.Here is the syntax of atol in C++ language,long int atol(const char *string)Here is an example of atol() in C++ language,Example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int main() {    long int a;    char str[20] = "538756";    a = atol(str);    cout

The function iswdigit() is a built-in function in C/C++. It checks whether the wide character is a decimal digit or not. It is declared in “cwctype” header file in C++ language while “ctype.h” in C language. It takes a single character which is known as wide character.The characters from 0 to 9 are classified as decimal digits. If the wide character is not a digit, it will return zero(0). If character is digit, it will return non-zero value.Here is the syntax of iswdigit() in C++ language, int iswdigit(ch)Here is an example of iswdigit() in C++ language, Example Live Demo#include #include ...

The function iswupper() is a built-in function in C/C++. It converts the wide character into upper case. It is declared in “cwctype” header file in C++ language while “ctype.h” in C language. It takes a single character which is known as wide character. If the character is upper case, it is converted into it, otherwise no modifications happen.Here is the syntax of towupper() in C++ language, wint_t towupper( wint_t ch );Here is an example of towupper() in C++ language, Example#include #include #include using namespace std; int main() {    wchar_t s[] = L"hello world!";    wcout Read More
