Re: [Dev-C++] differnece between system pause and cin.get()

[Robson B. <rob...@su...>]

the function system() is a shortcut to use dos comands like system("ATTRIB")
or system("PAUSE"). cin.get() is a c++ function that you can adjust
settings. is more flexible. that was what i verified.

    Hello,

    Obviously there are quite a lot of differences between the two.
    However since I am new to c++ and pragramming all together i was
wondering
    why cin.get()
    works sometimes to pauze the system after a programm and sometimes it
won`t.
    ==> Because one or more '\n' has remain in the stream from previous cin
use(s).

  Thanks for the response.
  Is there a way of chekking if there`s annything left in the cin stream.
  Or to empty it for that matter before using it as a tool for keeping dos
boxes open :-)
