[Solved] Pause Function

[M_D_K]

noooooooobb

noob noob noob noob!

all you have to do is replace cin.get, with get(). NOOB!

that way, once any character is inputted, the program continues on. NEEEEWWWWBBB!!

get() wouldn't works since no standard function is called that. fucking retard.

ok, so I made one mistake. it is getchar(). so fucking what? do i still have to write it for you too?

listen, i understand you are a really bad newb, so let me try to help you here:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
...
getchar()
...
}

NEWB!!!

[M_D_K]

still won't compile since it's incorrect code.

n00b.

mdk is nothing but fail. has to protect other users, and has to butt in things that don't concern him. the code is correct. the only thing missing is the semicolon, which im not going to fix for scriptkiddy zodiac, he can do it himself.

That doesn't work it only responds to 'ENTER'
and if you use getchar() like that it causes
more problems than cin.get().

I think you are using C includes...
these are for c++
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>

EDIT: you so funny :D.

[zodiac976]

Actually I think I found something that is working better
than cin.get();.

void pause()
{
cout << "Press ENTER to continue . . .";
cin.ignore(9999, '\n');
}

No more bugs but still you have to hit 'ENTER'.

yeah thats a brilliant way of doing it.

[zodiac976]

I found another way and tested it in my text RPG and
so far it works without relying on the 'ENTER' key but
I don't think it is a C++ standard.

You need #include <conio.h> to get it to work.
I thought conio was for some other compiler...
EDIT: I use visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

void pause()
{
cout << "Press any key to continue . . .";
_getch();
}

I tried using just getch() and the compiler said to use
_getch(). So far I haven't gotten any errors with it.

system("PAUSE"); in general is a bad idea. If you had googled it you would have found this article:
http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-61.html

Let me quote it:

*

t's a very expensive and resource heavy function call. It's like using a bulldozer to open your front door. It works, but the key is cleaner, easier, cheaper. What system() does is:
1.

suspend your program
2.

call the operating system
3.

open an operating system shell (relaunches the O/S in a sub-process)
4.

the O/S must now find the PAUSE command
5.

allocate the memory to execute the command
6.

execute the command and wait for a keystroke
7.

deallocate the memory
8.

exit the OS
9.

resume your program

There are much cleaner ways included in the language itself that make all this unnessesary.
*
You must include a header you probably don't need: stdlib.h or cstdlib

It's a bad habit you'll have to break eventually anyway.

Instead, use the functions that are defined natively in C/C++ already. So what is it you're trying to do? Wait for a key to be pressed? Fine -- that's called input. So in C, use getchar() instead. In C++, how about cin.get()? All you have to do is press RETURN and your program continues.

I knew and know that :/.

I found that in google a long time ago and in my
previous posts I said it was bad and I wanted
to move away from it....if you are replying to me
that is... .

Is think you have to check wether you get an input from the keyboard, and that's it...

so just check if WM_KEYDOWN is true...

You just wait cyrax, your time is coming, did you get banned . so you made a new account, time for IP ban loser... You don't know how to change your IP... I could get around that, but you're such a noob you wouldn't be able to, you'd probably go to your grandmas house and make a new account!

Who is this guy he sounds like an immature kid not getting
