    scanf

    I have a program written in C that I would like to convert to C++

    but the scanf command is not accepted by C++

    Is that normal???? what is scanf equivalant to in c++?

    scanf("%type",&variable);

    cin >> variable;//type auto detected

    Thanks

    you can write a program that will change it for you, it would take about an hour, and come in handy if you ever need to do it again.

    That is not normal, I think. C++ is supposed to be near fully backwards compatible.

    I suppose it could be a lack of #include <stdio.h>
