Does getchar need a format specifier?

Short answer. No.

What does putchar(ch) do?

Prints the one character in ch.

Remember

getchar reads one char
putchar prints one char
No format specifier needed

Need only one character? There is a simpler way than scanf. Getchar reads one character from the keyboard. Putchar prints one character. Type Y, and it prints Y. Getchar reads one. Putchar prints one. No format specifier needed.
