Question

Here is a simple code in C++:

cout << "Press Any Key To Exit...";

What is the code for closing program when user presses any button on keyboard. What should I write after above code?
I know I can use cin.ignore(); and if user presses Enter the program will close, But my target is any key.

How to do that?

Answer 1

You can use the ncurses library to do this. The downside to this solution is that you won’t be able to use cout for outputting anymore.

#include <ncurses.h>
int main()
{
    initscr();
    printw("Press Any Key To Exit...");
    getch();
    endwin();
}

Be sure to -lncurses when compiling
