certain key to quit

[imjustnew]

Hi..i have been trying to make my program to quit when specific key is pressed....how can i do that? at the moment when any key is pressed it will also quit.

so far this is what ive done...

else if (ans == 'B')
                  {  
                goto start;
                  }
                
                else if (ans == 'C')
                  {
                  quit;
                  }

you must have done more than that??

a basic starting point is something of the form:

char ans;
bool goAgain = true;

while(goAgain)
{
	ans = GetAnswer();
	if(ans == 'q')
	{
		goAgain = false;
		ShowExitMessage();
	}	
}

what is the bool? where can i check about it more?

[cauberong09]

Bool is a primitive data type as int,float.It only return two values:true or false.As in the:

while(goAgain) equivalent to while(goAgain==1) with goAgain variable declare bool data type.
Do I understand correctly your question?
Sorry my english is very bad.

[rogster001]

in case its useful the negative of the shorthand

while(goAgain)

is simply to use the ' ! ' sign before your variable

while(!goAgain)

while 'not' goAgain
i.e while goAgain is not true.
So you understand that in my first post i couldn't have used the ' not ' operator, as the loop would never have started, see if you can work out why.

ps you can do the same sort of thing with ' if ' statements and plenty other stuff besides...
