Thread: Compiler Is Wierd

Hello...Let me tell you about my problem.

I've been trying to figure this out for a pretty long time. Now, whenever I try to compile a console program, it becomes wierd. When I cout before I call a function like "getch()", it carries out the function before the output. Here's an example:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
cout << "Hello!\n";

getch();

return(0);
}

Now, this will usually ask for input before it outputs "Hello!".

Not yet, let me try now.

Flush cout before you call getch:

Code:

cout << "Hello\n" << flush;
// or
cout << "Hello" << endl;

Imov's solution will work, but in general, you should avoid mixing old style C I/O and C++ stream I/O as the buffering is different, (indeed absent in some cases).
