Confusion on \n and enter key

[Ariharan]

see this progrmmmmm

void main()
{
  char ch;
  printf("enter the string");
  do 
  {
    ch=getchar();
  } while(ch!='\n');
  getch();
}

here that do while loops end when we press the "enter key"
but wht is my question is ascii value of "enter key" is 13..
while asccii of '\n ' is 10
how this possible
this program still runs

plz any one say the reson behind this

Well,
here you have to understand how getchar() works.
when you issues a getchar().
getchar() waits for a "character+enter key" , however if you enter "string+enter key" it will consider a first character of a string you entered.
Now result will be put in 'stdin' as "character you entered+\n"
In simple language we can say that it converts "enter key" to '\n'.
So when you hit only enter key. your 'ch' variable will end up with having '\n' in it.
If you don't want this behaviour, use
ch = getch() or ch = getche(), instead of ch=getchar();
In former case your will see the '13' value in 'ch' variable.
and of course in later case 'ch' will have '10' i.e '\n'.
that's why your loop gets terminated
