Key combo

Code:

---


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int test;
test = 0;
while (1) {
        test++;
}
test--;
printf("%d",test);
return 0;

---

This small test program runs until the end of time (console linux ). Now my question is.

How do you make the while lus end by pressing a key or key combo?

Along the lines of: while("A" is not pressed) ....

You can use kbhit(). This will loop until a key is pressed:

Code:

---

while(!kbhit()) {
    puts("You haven't pressed a key yet . . .");
}

---

If you want to exit the loop only when a key is pressed, try this:

Code:

---

for(;;) {
    if(kbhit()) {
        if(getch() == 'A') break;
    }

    test++;
}

---

If you don't mind waiting, use scanf() or getchar(). :)
