Answer 3

In simple words it just holds the output screen and it is mainly used in turbo c or c++. In Microsoft Visual Studio IDE it is not used. Microsoft Visual has its own configuration.

Answer 4

getch() function use for hold the output in screen, This function not used in all IDE, I was see this In only Turbo C IDE.

May be Only Turbo C needed this to hold output.

Answer 5

Program runs without getch() in C language...But if u write getch() user gets the o/p screen as soon as executing the program. Otherwise After executing We ve to press Alt+F5 to see the o/p screen....
- W.r.t Turbo C2 ( c compiler)

Answer 6

Some c, c++ ide doesn't hold the output and we can't see the result so we use it to hold it
