Not a good idea, the enter/newline is going to remain in the input buffer.

you could also simply do cin.clear() before cin.get(). Or you could use getchar(), which is in iostream.

Just add:
Program will stay open as long as you need 
NOTE: I just realized this actually "works".. For those of you that don't know this is a joke, it's a joke. DO NOT use this method.

Aeolus, use
char temp[2]; cin >> temp;
to hold it open. As opposed to
char temp; cin >> temp;
char temp[2]; cin >> temp;
to hold it open. As opposed to
char temp; cin >> temp;

Why array? Because Falco said in an earlier post that otherwise the newline would be stuck on the buffer *shrug*
Last I heard newlines on windows from user were just \n, so, I dunno.

Instead of using an array, you could do this:
Code: Select all
cin.clear(); // clear the input buffer
cin.get() // wait for <break> to be pressed
