    On the assumption that "scan the inputs" means something, you would do ... whatever it is you intend to do ... until it fails. (Technically, it could fail for other reasons, like bad input, but you can check afterwards whether .eof is true.)

    You need to read while the read is good. So while (cin >> x).

    As a matter of fact, it (the while statement, I mean) does in fact work. You are typing EOF yourself with Ctrl-Z on Windows/Ctrl-D on *nix, yes? If you just want one line, that's something else. (Edit: You may have to press enter after EOF, of course, if you are typing this yourself.)
