getchar() from c to c++ ?

[neoragexxx]

well is there a similar function in c++ ?

instead of getchar() in C i wanna use a similar function for c++ .

and how can i read the buffer from cin .. ?

(i know i can clear it with cin.clear() but i want to read it)

e.g with cin >> number if the user writes more characters after the number.

thanks in advance

You could try cin.get() ;

a friend told me that cin.get() had a pointer as parameter...

but i tested it now and you are right .. next time i'll check before asking..

your friend was right. there are lots of overloaded versions

  int get();
  istream& get( char& ch );
  istream& get( char* buffer, streamsize num );
  istream& get( char* buffer, streamsize num, char delim );
  istream& get( streambuf& buffer );
  istream& get( streambuf& buffer, char delim );
