Thank you for your answer :)

Thanks a lot for the in depth explanation, this makes things a lot clearer. I’ll try ‘putchar()’ and test a few more things and then come back to read this post again

Thank you, I realize that there’s a whole other aspect I didn’t even consider. I’m new to C and Linux so I’ll follow your advice but it’s making me want to learn more. Thanks again to both you and @adriator for your answers

Thanks a lot for your answer. This might be because of my shallow understanding of how a buffer works, but I don’t understand why EOF isn’t consumed by getchar() when the other bytes are consumed. Isn’t a char just a number and EOF too (-1 I think)? I probably should try and understand buffers more
