Question

Can someone help me using fflush in C++

Here is a sample code in C

#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int a,b,i;
char result[20];

int main() {
  scanf("%d %d\n", &a, &b);
  for (i=1; i<=10; i++) {
    printf("5\n");
    fflush(stdout);
    gets(result);
    if (strcmp(result, "congratulation") == 0) break;
  }
  return 0;
}

This is program for getting interactive input.

I usually use cin and cout so is it possible not using printf and scanf?

Answer 1

The translation to C++ programming style is this:

#include <iostream>

using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::string;

int main() {
  string line;
  int a, b;

  if (cin >> a >> b) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      cout << "5" << std::endl; // endl does the flushing
      if (std::getline(cin, line)) {
        if (line == "congratulations") {
          break;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

Note that I deliberately added some error checking.
