daudiam -8 printf ("%d",EOF);This gives me -1
scanf ("%d",&a);printf ("%d",a)where a is int (as EOF is an int), this gives me some junk value
printf ("%d",getch());This gives me 26
I've always given the input as ctrl+z (that's right, na!)
What's the correct value of EOF ?

daudiam -8 Thanks !
Plz take time out to check if I have understood correctly
EOF is a value returned when the end of an input stream occurs. Its value in most systems is -1. In C, EOF is a macro defined as -1. Note that EOF is not some character returned from the input stream. In Unix, the end of input is indicated by ctrl+d (whose ascii value is 4) while in Windows, its Ctrl+Z (whose ascii value is 26). When receiving an input stream, if Ctrl+Z is sensed in Windows or Ctrl+D in Windows, Its interpreted as the end of input, and EOF (i.e. -1) is returned to the program. Both of them are also called EOT (End of transmission
character for their respective environments).

The actual value is irrelevant.
>In C, EOF is a macro defined as -1.
EOF is defined as a negative constant with a type of int, nothing more.
