Question

Here I have a code:

cout << "Press Enter To Exit...";
cin.ignore();

this program will execute and will wait till you press enter and then it will exit.
now see this code:

int m;
cin >> m;
cout << "Press Enter To Exit...";
cin.ignore();

this time after entering a number for saving in “m” the program will exit without waiting for cin.ignore command which waits for pressing enter.

I mean if you use cin command before cin.ignore, the cin.ignore command will skip. why? and what should I do for fixing it?

Answer 1

Use this.

std::cin.sync(); std::cin.get();
