    Can you press a key to transport you to some place in the prog ?

    Is there any way of making a prog go back to the start or back to some place by just pressing a key once without having to type enter?



    i know yuo can say something like

    while(key=='y')
    {

    cout<<"do you want to go again y/n";
    cin>>key

    }

    but i want it so as soon as you type n the prog goes back to the beginning of the while loop.

    sir, yes, sir...

    getch(var);

    I can't remember the header that it's in.

    <conio.h> for some compilers, the various curses libraries also have a getch function. But keep in mind that it's not a standard function, so you may not even have it.
