    Console Program Problem

    Okay, this is a wierd problem. I'm using VC++ on Windows 2000 and I am trying to program within console.

    Well, I have a big problem. When I try to compile a program, it gets all wierd. Whenever I compile, it always plays the code in different order. Like, if I get input, perform an operation on it, and I output text, it sometimes outputs text, gets input, and performs the operations. That was just an example. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

    sounds like your code.. not the compiler

    show some of your code, are you using any strange things in it like pointers to functions or goto statements?

    Well I don't have any code, because this is my net machine, and I don't like programming on it, cuz it isn't in my room, but I can tell you that I don't use any function pointers, or anything special in it. Just some i/o stuff, and some + or - things. Sorry for the lack of info.

    Remember that ostream is buffered, so make sure you flush cout whenever you need to be sure that what you want to be outputted will be then and there. Also sometimes things get left in the input buffer which can explain some skippings of input operations. All these are quite specific, however, to the program so we do really need to see the code.
