    "getch()"?

    Example:

    Code:
    int main()
    {
         int keyPress;
    
         cout << "Enter a number between 1 and 3: ";
         keyPress = getch();
    
         switch (keyPress)
         {
         case '1':
              cout << "You entered one!\n";
              break;
         case '2':
              cout << "You entered two!\n";
              break;
         case '3':
              cout << "You entered three!\n";
              break;
         default:
              cout << "Not a number between 1 and 3!\n";
              break;
         }
         return 0;
    }
