[Dev-C++] cin.get()

[patche <pa...@ro...>]

I am new to programming and have a huge story on all of the compiler/IDEs=
 that I've tried until I found DevCPP kudos to everyone involved.

There was a question that was asked about gett cin.get() to work.  I don't=
 know why but I had the same problem and the book with which I am teaching=
 myself or some other tutorial I was reading can't recall, suggested that I=
 use cin.get() twice, like so:

//template.cpp - Template for CPP

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
     cin.get();
     cin.get();
     return 0;
}

So far, I haven't found any conflicts.  With what I know I will suggest=
 that the problem lies in the language itself.  I was studying the section=
 concerning strings and began to notice that the compiler actually hides=
 alot of useful stuff that would be good to know.  For instance, the=
 compiler will take a carriage return [ENTER] for a "\n" character and then=
 the newline character will be replaced with a null value "\0" of course=
 the "\0" represents yet another number. 

I don't know if the explanation helps but I am sure putting it in twice=
 will.

Thanks

The problem doesn;t lie in the language itself, it lies on its use by
us. :)
