Re: getch() in c++

thnx....

u mean to say dat getch() is used to display d output for d user----if we don't use it, den although d program will run, but d output will not be displayed???did i get it right??




and ya...in d program u gave

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main() {
char c;
c = getch(); // Gets and stores a user-input character
cout << c << endl;
cout << "Press any key to exit.";
getch(); // No variable, used to get into an input-event loop.
}

r we usin getch() to do wat cin>> does(i.e.--get d input 4m user)??

No! The output is displayed just fine, but too fast and since the program ends after showing last cout operation, Turbo C comes back on the screen. So it appears like no output is shown, while it is. Just that it happens very fast and you don't notice.

You can use cin to the same effect but the difference is that using getch() does not echo (show) the pressed character on the screen. If you use cin, you can see what you are giving as an input but with getch() you can't. This is advantageous in certain situations.

Re: getch() in c++

^^switch to some other good compiler. If it's compulsory due to college then bear with the agony and pain of coding in Turbo C++

Yes but the compiler and the language you are using was what existed in late 1980s. That's even before Jurassic age at the rate technology develops. Modern compilers provide better binaries, useful error and warning messages and even allow for easy use of new elements of the programming languages - like namespaces in C++. Its always good to use something new.

Re: getch() in c++

Thats the problem! Our colleges use stuff that is way too outdated
Certain valid syntax's are just not accepted by TC, its too frustrating, a few days back i fought with my professor as to why were we so outdated, learning C++ on turbo C and then doing VB 6.0 instead of .net

yo...Lemme put it dis way...m learnin c++ in my school (yeah--no college yet!!)..
and its Turbo there..But yes, as soon as I master it, I'll surely go in for other compilers, coz as u said ""Its always good to use something new""

I m running turbo C++ Compiler on Windows 7 x64... with the help of DOSBOX

 

[manaskumar]

Re: c for window 7.

Write your programs in any suitable editor and complie it with GCC.
I personally use ECLIPSE IDE and DEVC++.

 

[cute.bandar]

Re: c for window 7.

There's also tiny c compiler. a no frills simple to use compiler.
It should work windows 7

Re: Turbo C in Windows 7

Here what you should do , step by step

1) Show the finger to your teacher.
2) Burn that filth called "Let Us C" or any other indian author book.
3) Refer to this tutorial for books & compiler to use
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/developers/132924-c-c-beginners-guide-post-basic-questions-here.html
4) Use the gcc compiler for betterment of yourself & the firm which will hire you.

That should be easy to follow , talk about widespread illiteracy.
