hello, I hope that one of you could help me out a bit: is there a way to, right from the start of the program, to set all inputed character values to be transfer to only CAPS or only lower case.
This is what I've found out:
#include <ctype>
char c
cout << "input a letter ";
cin >> c ;
c = toupper(c);
this works and is not too bad, as my program is a constant loop that finishes when the game is over, but I am looking for an easier way out, thanks in advance,
axon
I can't test it where I am, and I really have no idea if this will work or not, but can you set flags for cin like you do for cout?
Like you'd set
cout.setf (ios_base::uppercase);
to do output in uppercase
how about
cin.setf (ios_base::uppercase);
i found in CS class yesterday, that (at least in .NET), you don't need to include ctype if u use
<iostream>
using namespace std;
in your program as opposed to
<iostream.h>
Don't know why it works, but it does.

Some compilers do that for convenience, but it's not standard across compilers so you shouldn't rely on it :-)
i figured it was a .net thing, but without the short iostream and namespace declaration it won't work less u use ctype.
