Use “#include ” before using these functions. You will need to initialize the output port. The lowest level of IO routines consists of the single character input (getchar) and output (putchar) routines. Thus, if you want to use a higher level function on a different device, for example printf to an LCD, all you need to do is to redefine the low level function. See Overriding a Library Function.

However, for the output to appear as expected on a Windows terminal program, the ‘\n’ character must be mapped to the character pair carriage return and linefeed (CR/LF).
