2 quick questions

[Unregistered]

Can anyone tell me how to pause the screen, say like after some output? ie. Press any key to continue--- I am guessing it uses stdin to some extent unless there is a shortcut.

Also, which library is the MIN() function stored in? (function that finds the minimum of 2 specified values).

Thanks.

for the push any key to continue..

#include <conio.h> /* You will need this for getch(); */
#include <iostream.h> /* and this for cout . you could use printf */
{
...
cout << "Push any key to continue...";
getch();
/*What to do after key is pressed */
...
}

This should work. If you dont have the two headers, i can send them to u.

This works in Borland Turbo C++ (pwned). It should work anyway, since getch() and cout are unlikely to be advanced beyond the scope of C.

min() and max() are found in the header <stdlib.h> in msvc, dunno if their ansi standard though, probably not.
Its easy to find header files for functions, all you have to do is try different headers until the compiler recognizes the function.

cout << "Push any key to continue...";

Will that work in c, wouldn't have thought so. Use printf instead

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> /* for getch */

printf("Press any key to continue.");
getch();

However getch isn't ansi standard so you may not have it

dev-c++ defaults to a template program with a system("pause"); call.

This would be ANSII-conform:

void pause(void)
{
 char c;
 puts("press enter  to continue:");
 c=fgetc(stdin);
}

or

void pause(void)
{
 puts("press enter  to continue:");
 fgetc(stdin);
}

You don't have to use return values, save a whole lot of memory

Thanks!
