You can use the getc function in stdio.h to wait until a key is pressed. This C code will wait for the enter key to be pressed then output "Continued!":

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    printf("Press any key to continue");
    getc(stdin);
    printf("Continued!");
    return 0;
}

If I understand your question, you can write:

printf("Press ENTER key to Continue\n");  
getchar();

printf("Press Any Key to Continue\n");
getch();
