Thread: Hey!

I just posted like few second ago i know. i'm sorry about that but i have one more major question. in my programs i use cin.ignore(); a lot i was wondring if in the beganining of the program i could write som ething like #define cin.ignore(): = done; ? because i'm kind of geting tired of writteing all that. i learned that #define are varibles that are used all over the program not just in on section of code or something like that. if this is not true could someone point me in the right direction :-D

in my programs i use cin.ignore(); a lot

why?

Echo the advice given above, but in future, if you find yourself doing a routine quite often, you can group that routine into a separate function or loop, and use those constructs instead. In this case, easiest just to use the hot keys for copy and paste, don't you think?

Also, I suggest you use more descriptive subject titles, as advised in the forum guidelines (http://cboard.cprogramming.com/annou...ouncementid=51)

writing 'done' isn't realy much less then writing 'cin.ignore();' but you would create such a defination like this.

Code:

#define done cin.ignore();
