just a little question about c++

Patchorus · 08-26-2003, 03:23 PM

i just wonder if anyone could tell me what i type in c++ so if i press a button in my program i tell it to do different stuff. for example "Q" i quit the program and if i press "s" i do something else. and so on...

have looked through some helpsites but i cant find just this part.

I don't think it's easy to do portably. Under Linux, you could use ncurses:

#include <curses.h>

int main()
{
initscr();
cbreak();
noecho();

printw("Test: Hit a key.\n");
char x = getch();
printw("You pressed '%c'.\nHit another key.\n", x);
getch();

endwin();
}

Compile with:
g++ -otest test.cc -lcurses

Well , you can also just get the input as a char and compare it using case statements and then execute the results.

For example,
char ch;
printf("Enter the char :");
scanf("%c",&ch);// ( I generally use C++ & am not sure if this correct)
switch(ch):
case c:
// Do something
case q:
// Quit
default:
exit(0);

I think this is just a sample and you have to develop from here. And I hope that this is what you have been looking for...
