Thread: Simple Question relating to the IOStream Lib and Cin

When I'm testing a piece of code (by your tutorials) I get a problem, it pertains to "cin>>" cin is an input stream, I've included the library in the header, and also included the "using" arguement (because I'm not using everything in the header file of the iostram.) However cin isn't giving me the input area, thus recieving the number isn't working either.

Heres the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;

#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
  int input;	  
  cout<<"1. Play game\n";	
  cout<<"2. Load game\n";	
  cout<<"3. Play multiplayer\n";	
  cout<<"4. Exit\n";	
  cin>>input;	 
  switch (input)	
  {	   
   case 1: 
   cout<<"Playing game...";
	   break;	 
   case 2:
	cout<<"Loading game...";	 
        break;	
   case 3:	      //Note use of : not ;	 
        cout<<"Going into Multiplayer mode...";
	  break;	
   case 4:
        return 0;   
  default: 	  
        cout<<"Error, bad input, quitting";	
  }
  return 0;

}
