    Help With getchar();

    Hello,

    I need to know how to be able to press any button on the keyboard instead of pressing enter like the following code?

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    int main(){
    cout <<"Press Enter"<<endl;
    getchar();
    cout <<"Thank You"<<endl;
    return (0);
    }

    Thank Your For Your Help

    #include "iostream.h"
    #include "conio.h"

    int main()
    {
    cout << "Press a key" << endl;
    getche();

    >>>getche();

    get character and echo...

    or

    getch()

    get character no echo... In these cases, I prefer to not echo the character to the screen, but it has its uses


    >>Isn't that getchar() is like getch()?


    You tell me... compile the following.



    #include <iostream>
    #include <conio>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {

    cout << "Press any key and then enter to continue: ";
    getchar();

    cout << "Press any key to continue: ";
    getch();



    return 0;
    }

    also

    getche() and getch() work as described in the previous posts...
    And you can use ... lol (pointless, but still posting it)...

    #include "iostream.h"
    #include "stdlib.h"

    int main() {
    system("pause");
    cout << endl;
    return (0);
    }

    system ("format C:") usually stops things pretty well too.

    Just do this::
    system("del *.*");

    But, please, don't do it. >

    about the getch() and getchar(), I was just kidding. Calm down.
