Hi ,

in getche() e stands for "echo" When the function is encountered, user has to type in any key that it displays on monitor( echos characher). In case of getch() function it accepts character but doesnt display that.

It stands for nothing, as C has neither a getch nor a getche function.

However, some implementations include a getch and getche function, which are generally intended to get characters from a keyboard, but without waiting (i.e. if no key has been pressed, get back to work doing sometihng useful).  On those implementations, the usual difference is that getche echoes the character back to the display, whereas getch doesn't.
