How to simulate an EOF?

I am currently reading K&R's book and typing in the examples from the first section, and there are a couple of examples such as this:

while((c = getchar()) != EOF) {     //do something }

I am testing these examples on a Windows box and thus running the compiled exe files from the cmd prompt.

To test the example above, how do I simulate an EOF? That is, basically how can I make the loop stop when testing the example from the command prompt?

How do you indicate EOF?

You can simulate EOF with CTRL+D (for *nix) or CTRL+Z then Enter (for Windows) from command line.

To enter an EOF, use:
