Pausing the program
Hi,
This is my first post, but I am really ripping my hair out here as I can't see what is going wrong. Heres the thing I want my program to wait for the user to push any key before the program calls the main() function again I am using getchar() to do this . Heres the bit of code that is causing the problem (I havn't been doing this for long so the code is probably a bit rough, but it should work)
Code:
while (x=1)
{
cin >> LD;
if (LD >= 1 && LD <= 12)
{
cout << "\n\n You must roll lower or equal to " << LD << " to pass the test and not break. Good Luck\n";
break;
}
else
{
cout <<"\nPlease enter a number between 1 and 12 for the LD statistic";
continue;
}
}
getchar();
main();
}
The program does pause, but it pauses when the user enters a correct number beforre it has displayed the text
<< "\n\n You must roll lower or equal to " << LD << " to pass the test and not break. Good Luck\n";
to the screen. It will then wait for a keystroke before displaying the text and returning to main(). I have also tried using the system("pause") command but this gives me exactly the same results.
I am using MS Visual Studio 6.0 to compile it.
Any help would be much appriciated thanks very much for reading. Ad.
