Press enter to continue

[Unregistered]

In my console programs i want to be able to pause the program. How do i make the program wait for the enter button to be pressed (without entering a char or number into a variable).
Like the "Press enter to continue" thing....

#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

...

system ("pause");

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{

cout<< "Hi there.\n";
cout<< "Hit any key to exit program...";

getch();  // This will pause the program until some key is hit

return(0);
}

Hope that helps. Should work, that is what I always use.

/* Number 1 */

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
cout<<"And you died..."<<endl;
system("pause"); 
/* 
Note: only usable in dos:
Reason: It calls the dos command 'pause' 
*/
return 0;
}

Displays:

And you died...
Press any key to continue . . .

/* Number 2 */

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
cout<<"And you died..."<<endl;
cout<<"Press any key to continue . . ."<<endl;

if(kbhit())
{
return 0;
}

return 0;
}

this uses the function kbhit() to see when a key is hit...
Hope this helps....man I have no life when I typed all that to answer a question
