Hi.. Long Time No Seen!!!

[TupacShakur]

It's been a while since my last post here!!
anyways, i'm trying to create a "Press any key to continue" in my code...
for example, i have to display 100 numbers.. each time the counter gets to 24, i should display the message, so the user gets to read the result... i think getch() is the way to do it, but i'm not sure about the exact code???
Please, help!! Thanx...

Here's the code i'm using by the way (the "Press..." only displays after the user presses a key.. starng, ha??!!):

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

void main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
	{
	cout<<i<<endl;
	if (i % 24 == 0)
		{
		cout<<"Press any key to continue";
		getch();
		}
	}
}

system("pause");

does the job for you, it prints out the text automatically

i'm not sure how to use it??
i mean combine it with my code, or use it stand alone??
and should i include something??

I'm really kind of new to C++, so excuse my lack of KNOWING!!!
Thanx..

try this:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio> //not needed
using namespace std; //standard namespaces

int main()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
    {
    cout<<i<<endl;
    if (i % 24 == 0)
        system("pause");
    }

return 0;
}

I think you need to include stdlib.h for that:

#include <stdlib.h> 

[CornedBee]

better would be
#include <cstdlib>
cause we're talking C++ here...

[Jop]

Yep you're right CornedBee..
the thing is.. I don't need to include anything now? Since I'm using VS.NET... is it true that you don't need to include any headers for it in .NET? or is it that I'm using namespace std; ?

[CornedBee]

No, I don't think so. Maybe you don't need to include anything for .NET, but I'd say you still have to include headers for normal programming.

[Jop]

No I don't use managed extensions or whatever.. I just mean that I'm using VC7 (is there any difference between the includes needed for VC6 and VC7)

[CornedBee]

No, the CRT and C++ standard libraries stay roughly the same, as does the C++ syntax. There is no difference in including between VC6 and VC7. (I'd say, but I don't have VC7)
