In Windows, you can type any character you want by holding down the ALT key, typing a sequence of numbers, then releasing the ALT key. You can type a lot of characters that may not have a corresponding key on your keyboard – such as European language alphabetic characters, ASCII symbols, and even Chinese characters (also known as Hanzi, Kanji. Windows: Type currency symbols. Hold 'Alt' and type the number below using the numeric. In Windows, the Alt key combined with numeric codes can access characters that aren't readily available on a normal keyboard. While Alt codes don't exist on Mac computers, there are a variety of Option key shortcuts that can let you type the most popular characters.

In computing, end-of-file (EOF)^[1] is a condition in a computer operating system where no more data can be read from a data source. The data source is usually called a file or stream.

Details[edit]

In the C Standard Library, the character reading functions such as getchar return a value equal to the symbolic value (macro) EOF to indicate that an end-of-file condition has occurred. The actual value of EOF is implementation-dependent (but is commonly −1, such as in glibc^[2]) and is distinct from all valid character codes. Block-reading functions return the number of bytes read, and if this is fewer than asked for, then the end of file was reached or an error occurred (checking of errno or dedicated function, such as ferror is often required to determine which).

EOF character[edit]

Input from a terminal never really 'ends' (unless the device is disconnected), but it is useful to enter more than one 'file' into a terminal, so a key sequence is reserved to indicate end of input. In UNIX the translation of the keystroke to EOF is performed by the terminal driver, so a program does not need to distinguish terminals from other input files. Goldsmith the trap pdf free. By default, the driver converts a Control-D character at the start of a line into an end-of-file indicator. To insert an actual Control-D (ASCII 04) character into the input stream, the user precedes it with a 'quote' command character (usually Control-V). AmigaDOS is similar but uses Control- instead of Control-D.

In DOS and Windows (and in CP/M and many DEC operating systems such as RT-11 or VMS), reading from the terminal will never produce an EOF. Instead, programs recognize that the source is a terminal (or other 'character device') and interpret a given reserved character or sequence as an end-of-file indicator; most commonly this is an ASCIIControl-Z, code 26. Some MS-DOS programs, including parts of the Microsoft MS-DOS shell (COMMAND.COM) and operating-system utility programs (such as EDLIN), treat a Control-Z in a text file as marking the end of meaningful data, and/or append a Control-Z to the end when writing a text file. This was done for two reasons:

• Backward compatibility with CP/M. The CP/M file system only recorded the lengths of files in multiples of 128-byte 'records', so by convention a Control-Z character was used to mark the end of meaningful data if it ended in the middle of a record. The MS-DOS filesystem has always recorded the exact byte-length of files, so this was never necessary on MS-DOS.
• It allows programs to use the same code to read input from both a terminal and a text file.

In the ANSI X3.27-1969 magnetic tape standard, the end of file was indicated by a tape mark, which consisted of a gap of approximately 3.5 inches of tape followed by a single byte containing the character 13 (hex) for nine-track tapes and 17 (octal) for seven-track tapes.^[3] The end-of-tape, commonly abbreviated as EOT, was indicated by two tape marks. This was the standard used, for example, on IBM 360. The reflective strip that was used to announce impending physical end of tape was also called an EOT marker.

Using the Codes

Windows assigns a numeric code to different accented letters, other foreign characters and special mathematical symbols. For instance the code for lower case á is 0225, and the code for capital Á is 0193. The ALT key input is used to manually insert these letters and symbols by calling the numeric code assigned to them.

To use the codes:

1. Place your cursor in the location where you wish to insert a special character.
2. Activate the numeric key pad on the right of the keyboard by pressing Num Lock (upper right of keyboard). The Num Lock light on the keyboard will indicate that the numeric key pad is on.
   NOTE: You must use the numeric key pad; if you use the number keys on the top of the keyboard, the characters will not appear. If you are on a laptop or computer without a separate numeric keypad one of the other methods is recommended.
3. While pressing down the ALT key, type the four-digit code on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard. The codes are 'case sensitive.' For instance, the code for lower-case á is ALT+0225, but capital Á is ALT+0193.
   NOTE: If you have the International keyboard activated, you will only be able to input codes with the ALT key on the left side of the keyboard.
   
4. Release the ALT key. The character will appear when the ALT key is released.
   NOTE: You must include the initial zero in the code. For example to insert á(0225) you must type ALT+0225, NOT ALT+225.
