    terminating input by ctrl+z

    How to terminate the input by entering ctrl+z.
    I have a sentinel controlled loop that should break when ctrl+z is entered.

    Code:
    int x=0;
    
    while( condition )
    {
         cin >> x;
         do something
    }
    what's the condition

    Ok if I have a situation like this.

    Code:
    for ( ;; )
    {
         cin >> x;
         if ( condition )
              break;
         cin >> y;
         ........
    }
    what could that condition be: if ( cin )?
    Thanks for help.
