Not every string input needs to be converted into some binary value. Often, we simply need to read or write strings without any additional formatting. There is a family of unformatted string I/O functions that can be used to read or write entire lines of characters without any formatting applied. However, these functions require each string to be formed into lines. A line is loosely defined as a string that is terminated by the <newline> character. Each of these has a console version as well as a file/stream version. For the remainder of this chapter, we will briefly explore this family of functions.

Overview of this book
C is a powerful general-purpose programming language that is excellent for beginners to learn. This book will introduce you to computer programming and software development using C. If you're an experienced developer, this book will help you to become familiar with the C programming language.
This C programming book takes you through basic programming concepts and shows you how to implement them in C. Throughout the book, you'll create and run programs that make use of one or more C concepts, such as program structure with functions, data types, and conditional statements. You'll also see how to use looping and iteration, arrays, pointers, and strings. As you make progress, you'll cover code documentation, testing and validation methods, basic input/output, and how to write complete programs in C.
By the end of the book, you'll have developed basic programming skills in C, that you can apply to other programming languages and will develop a solid foundation for you to advance as a programmer.
