putting a pause in?

If I wanted a program to pause at the completion of a function, and have any key pressed allow the program to continue, what would be the easiest way to do that?

Thanks for the help

That's a very common question on the board.

Make sure that you've read the faq or done a board search before you post.

But anyway, there are many ways that one could do it.

Here are a few:

getc() - needs stdio.h
getch() - needs conio.h
getchar() - unsure

you could use this

if <conio.h> is available to you

Code:

---

printf("Hit any key to continue");
getch();

---

if not

Code:

---

printf("Hit any key to continue");
fflush(stdin);
getchar();

---

>getch();
getch is non-standard, it's best to remain standard whenever possible. If I need a pause then I'll use getchar in stdio.h.

>fflush(stdin);
Perhaps you meant fflush ( stdout ). fflushing input streams is undefined.
