keyboard buffer

[Anonymous]

I am new to C++ and I like Devc++, but I am tired of everytime, in my programs, I ask for input from the keyboard with getch() the next time I ask for input with 'cin >>', I have to backspace to delete the input from the getch().  Anyone have a solution?

I have tried 'fflush(stdin)'  it doesn't work.

HELPPPPPPP!!!!!

Put this before your cin
cin.ignore(100, '\n');

here is a simple example:

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

int main()
{

char a,b;
cout << "input a letter: ";
a=getch();
cout << "\ninput another letter: ";
cin.ignore(100, '\n');
cin >> b;

cout << "a= " << a << " b= " << b;
getch();
return 0;
}

I don't want  to print the character from the getch()
at the next  cin.  I tried your suggestion, it does ignore it but it still prints it there

Curtis thanks for your help.

I figured it out I think.

I added:

int k=getch();//a dummy input

to catch the last key stroke.

it seemed to work for my program.

thanks again.
