    Some questions

    What does while(cin) mean? What about while(cin.good())?

    Is there a difference between c=cin.get() and cin.get(c)?

    I've personally never used something like while (cin)
    I guess it just checks whether the object cin exists.

    about good() :

    about get() :

    No, it is (roughly) the same as cin.good().

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
