“Press Any Key to Continue” function in C

Question

How do I create a void function that will work as \"Press Any Key to Continue\" in C?

What I want to do is:

printf(\"Let the Battle Begin!\\n\");
printf(         


        

Answer 1

Use getch():

printf("Let the Battle Begin!\n");
printf("Press Any Key to Continue\n");
getch();

Windows alternative should be _getch().

If you're using Windows, this should be the full example:

#include 
#include 

int main( void )
{
    printf("Let the Battle Begin!\n");
    printf("Press Any Key to Continue\n");
    _getch();
}

P.S. as @Rörd noted, if you're on POSIX system, you need to make sure that curses library is setup right.
