09-Unformatted Output Functions

The document discusses various unformatted output functions in C programming including putchar(), putch(), and puts(). It provides the general form, examples, and explanations of how each function works. putchar() and putch() are used to output a single character while puts() outputs a string and appends a newline. Sample programs demonstrate how to use these functions to output characters and strings and convert character cases.
