Flooded :(

int main()
{
again:
char test[256];
cout <<"Please enter a word: ";
cin.get(test,256);
cout <<"you said" <<test;
goto again;
getch();
return 0;
}


It keep getting flooded once I enter a word, what would i expected is wait for keep press [cin.get()] again every time its loop.

for example:

1.
Please enter a word: girls
you said girls

2.
Please enter a word: love
you said love

3.
Please enter a word: sex
you said sex

and so on by loop.

your telling it to goto again before getch ever executes

Yep, like RoD said, its in an endless loop:(

Yea, you're right, odd i din't said that, must be getting soft.....:(

i was going to but noone ever told me why its bad.

cout<<"Enter number of times u want me to run";
cin>>numof

for (int i; i <=numof; i++)
{

your code
}

Using GOTO's in your program creates spaghetti code, i jumps
all over the program. Very ugly,slow and bad.

ahh, thnx for the explanation.

Well I use for-loop this time haha.

int main()
{
char test[256];
for (int i = 1; i <=6; i++)
{
cout <<"Please enter your name: ";
cin.get(test,256);
cout <<"you said" <<test;
}
return 0;
}

it still flooding me without waiting for me to type a word.

Once I typed: hello
then it return stupid output (it didnt ask me to enter a word on second loop and so on [cin.get fail on fail if looping])

Please enter your name: Hello
you saidHelloPlease enter your name: you saidPlease enter your name: you saidPle
ase enter your name: you saidPlease enter your name: you saidPlease enter your n
ame: you said

Try emptying test before every input, and replace

Code:

---

cout <<"you said" <<test;

---

with

Code:

---

cout <<"you said" <<test << endl;

Yeh I know, but like again it didnt ask me to enter a word again on second time loop cin.get(test,256);

Actually it's not slow. The opposite in fact.
I agree that it is obsolete though :rolleyes:.

SHUSH! you're incouriging them!,hehe.
Faster eh? Well that doesn't stack up against the
inefficience, garbage layout, unreadable code.

Please some one help me out.

The problem is while it is looping - it ignore the cin.get()
I want something i can type a word again again and again (looping)

Tried what i mentioned? Clearing test?

int main()
{
char test[256];


for (int i = 1; i <=4; i++)
{
cout <<"Please enter your name: ";
cin.get(test,256);
cout <<i <<") you said: " <<test <<endl;
}

getch();
return 0;
}


It return:

Please enter your name: Shahid
1) you said: Shahid
Please enter your name: 2) you said:
Please enter your name: 3) you said:
Please enter your name: 4) you said:



But it didnt ask me to enter a word on 2-4 loop
it simply ignore cin.get(test,256); on second to forth (2 to 4) loops


I hope you understand my point.

I am using Borland Compiler.

try cin for a spell

Code:

---

cin >> test;

---

Try using cin.ignore
