Thread: Question ?

WHen i compile my code nothing happens at first it looked like something was popping up. Now it looks like it is doin nothing. Below is my code

Code:

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
    int x;
  x = 0;
  do {
    int password; 
    cout<<"Enter Password";
    cin>> password;
    cin.ignore();
if ( password == 100 ) {
              cout<<"Correct Password Entry";
              }
              else {
                   cout<<"Invalid Password /n";
                   }
                   } while ( x==0 );
                   cin.get();
                   }

It should ask for a key and loop the question things. Im a HUGE newb so can someone explain to me my stupidity thanks.

Why is it better to use std::endl, rather than just hard-coding a newline into your text? Just curiousity.

endl calls flush and thus guarantees that everything in the outputbuffer is seen/written/something else.

3. cout<<"Enter Password";
Output without a newline may not be seen due to buffering. Calling cout.flush(); will ensure that your prompt will be seen.

Except that cin and cout are tied streams

Thanks guy. Also i want it to loop forever so thats good. I used your code and i have the same problem shouldnt a black dos box come up? then ask me the stuff and loop it forever?

The code Salem posted is the same code you posted, but formatted to make it easier to read. Have you fixed the problems pointed out to you above? Are you getting any compiler errors?

Yes, and it does....it works fine.

Sure you're using a compiler and not Notepad?

IM using dev C++. I will make the changes i thought he already made them sorry for wasting your time guys.
