please help new programmer!!!!!

i just need to know if there is a relatively easy way to use a "hit any key" function in my program. if anyone has any ideas i would be most grateful.

If your compiler supports it, use getch(). It takes in a character then proceeds without the user having to press enter. Otherwise, make your menu say "press enter to continue" and use getc() or getchar().


P.S. I think you have to include "conio.h" to use getch().

in C++ You need to have <<endl though
example for c++:

Code:

---

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

int main()
{
    cout<<"Press any key to continue"<<endl;
    getch();
    cout<<endl<<"Good!"<<endl;
    return 0;
}

---

however, my C compiler doesn't support conio
one way I did it on C (which was annoying as hell!)

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char ans[];
    printf("Do you wish to continue? [Y/N]: ");
    scanf(%c, &ans);
    printf("\n");
    if(ans[0] == "y" || ans[0] == "Y")
    {
        goto cont;
    }
    else { return 0; }
    cont:
    // Stuff for rest of code here
    return 0;
}
