getchar and getche functions just read a character, they serve no purpose in detecting when a key was pressed. You need to look into the kbhit function which detects keypresses and then read the character using getchar .
Read this. but mind you that the function is highly platform and compiler dependent.

Yes there is, but not without you saying which OS / Compiler / application type (console, GUI etc) you're trying to write.
There isn't a standard "one way works for everyone" answer to this question.
