    cin.ignore and cin.get in C

    What is the equivalent of cin.ignore and cin.get in C
    btw could someone give me a link where I can study other C functions like TextColor(), Delay() and more.

    cin.get() in C is either getchar() or fgets( str, size, stdin )

    TextColor() & Delay() are not standard C functions.
    Here's a list of standard C & C++ functions: http://www.cppreference.com/

    Why

    Why would you use cin.ignore over system ( "Pause" ); I'm jjw because i use system ( "Pause" ); and just found out about cin.ignore is one better then these other or are they the samethings just different way of doing it?
