Can you find any BUG in my code?

#include <stdio.h> int main() { char ch; while((ch=getchar)!=p) { putchar(ch); } return 0; }

You are missing parentheses when calling getchar(), and the name 'p' is undefined. You can use the EOF macro to check the success of getchar().

EOF must expand to a negative integer constant, but the exact value is implementation defined, although commonly -1 is chosen. To be on the safe side, I would prefer using EOF over -1 directly.

Whatever is defined for the macro in the implementation of the standard library that your compiler uses, yes. The C standard only says it should be a negative integer constant, a quoted excerpt can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4705968/what-is-value-of-eof-and-0-in-c

#include <stdio.h> int main() { char ch; while ((ch=getchar())!=-1) putchar(ch); return 0; } // Hope this helps

Shadow Thanks for that remark. So is it solely upto the compiler to define EOF?
