Answer 2

Do know about getch() function. It'll return the return the ascii value of the key returned but won't display it in screen..

program will be roughly like this,

char a[10];
int i=0;

while((a[i++]=getch()) !='\n')
printf("*");

a[i]='\0';

printf(" %s ",a);

It's not tested...

All the best..

Answer 3

not very sure, but i think you have to remove the echo so that the letter you type is not displayed then add a dummy * character using printf if character is typed
