reading in char values?

How do I go about reading in a character value without the user having to press enter?

Thank you for your help,
Daniel

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
  char C;

  cout << "Please enter char: ";
  cin >> C;

  cout << "\n" << C;

  cin.get() //hold screen

  return 0;
}

Using standard functions, you cannot.

However, if your compiler has conio.h you could use getch() or one of its equivalents.

ooops missed that bit
