You have to provide some context. What code are you talking about.
The fact that the google interface is broken means you have to do it
manually.

The function you want is fflush. What book are you using?

I would be better if you were told to use a standard function like
getchar(). Not everyone has non-standard extensions like getch().

No, it's a Windows thing. When main() returns, your window may close
before you can see its contents. Putting a getchar() prior to the
return is intended to insure the window stays open until you hit Enter
signifying you are done looking.
