help on pressing enter to continue
Hi, this may be a dumb question, but I've only been programming in C++ for a few weeks now, and I need to make a program that, while running, will stop and ask the user to hit <return> or <enter> to continue, and actually make it do that. I have no idea how to do this...if someone could clue me in, that'd be great, thanks!!
i.e.
cout <<"Will Waldo make it home? Press <RETURN> to continue.";
what next??
You can use getchar() or cin.get() to accept input and then test for the ASCII value of 'return' to continue.

or if you'd like to make it a little easier on yourself you can just ask for any key and use getch()
cout <<"Will Waldo make it home? Press <ANY KEY> to continue.";
getch();
the getch() function will just wait until a key is pressed.... then your program will continue executing.
Depending on your o/s and compiler.the getch() function will just wait until a key is pressed.... then your program will continue executing.
