Okay I suppose I understand what you're all getting at. I think at this point in my knowledge it's one of those things I just shouldn't do. I don't use the fflush "method" since my compiler has the clrscr() function(and the few times I've asked about it everyone has practically had a conniption), but I was really curious as to why it was practically a taboo...and I think you guys cleared it up ^_^

Salem, I find it funny and ironic that your signature reads this: "If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut." It's probably referring to something else, but it's still ironic xD
