printf() prints to standard output. printw() is used in
libcurses-based programs, and prints to 'stdscr', which is the
standard (main) screen.

getch() is curses, getchar() is standard I/O.

Are you using libcurses? If so, then you'll likely want to use the
curses functions for doing I/O. If you're not using libcurses, then
you definitely don't want them.
