Thread: [Dev-C++] Cleaning the Input Buffer

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Dear users:

A)In C, I am using the following function for cleaning the input buffer:

  clean_buffer();

  void clean_buffer()
  {
     while(getchar()!='\n');
  }

B)In C++ I thought who made this function was the "endl"
  I´ve tested some codes like:

  char string[80];

  cin >> string;          // here I put "hello there"
  cout << string;         // it prints "hello"
  cin >> string           // here it passes directly and loads in string
"there"
  cout << string;         // it prints "there"
  ...
  cin >> string;          // I put "hello there" again
  cout << string << endl; // I´ve put "endl" expecting to avoid "there"
  cin >> string;          // it passes directly again :-(
  cout << string;         // it prints "there" again

My Question:
1) How to clean stdin using new C++ commands?

Regards
Andre
