    quick question

    I have a quick question.
    how can I make a program stop and then start running again by pressing a key. something like 'readkey' and so to resume. I want to use this so the user on my program can read the text displayed before it is cleared by the system ("CLS").

    thx in advance.

    //code
    char ch;
    cin >> ch;
    //code


    in the above sequence the program will pause indefinitely as long as the input buffer is empty at the time the line cin >> ch; is encountered and will resume as soon as any key is entered.

    if your compiler has the conio header file, then you can use the kbhit() function as an alternate mechanism.

    must be in

    It must be in one of these:

    stdio.h
    stdlib.h
    dos.h

    But how do we get to check which function is in which ?
