Thread: just a simple question

    Unhappy just a simple question

    Does anyone know how to get the input of a user without them haveing to press enter after they are finished..

    for example:

    1. Go home
    2. Get Drunk
    3. Get layed
    >>3

    and then immidiatly after the user presses 1,2 or 3 it goes to that option

    int choice;

    cin >> choice;

    switch (choice)
    {
    case 1:
    cout << "you went home";

    case 2:
    cout << "you got drunk";

    case 3:
    cout << "you got laid";

    default:
    cout << "invalid choice";
    }

    that wouldn't work you would still have to press enter after the user type's a number to put it into choise.
