I am trying to write a C++ program in which when user enter any character from keyboard and it should move to next line of code.
Here is my code:
char c;
cin>>c;
cout<<"Something"<<endl;
but this is not working, because it only move to next line when I input some character and then press ENTER.
OR
If I use this
cin.get() or cin.get(c)
it move to next line of instruction when I press Enter.
But I wanted it to move to next line on any key pressed on the keyboard, how this can be done?
Another option is using threads with function pointers:
#include <iostream>
#include <thread> // this_thread::sleep_for() and thread objects
#include <chrono> // chrono::milliseconds()
bool stopWaitingFlag = false;
void delayms(int millisecondsToSleep)
{
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(millisecondsToSleep));
}
void WaitForKey()
{
while (stopWaitingFlag == false)
{
std::cout<<"Display from the thread function"<<std::endl;
delayms(1000);
}
}
int main()
{
std::thread threadObj(&WaitForKey);
char userInput = '\0';
while (userInput != 'y')
{
std::cout << "\e[1;31mWaiting for a key, Enter 'y' for yes\e[0m" << std::endl;
std::cin >> userInput;
if (userInput == 'y') {
stopWaitingFlag = true;
}
}
if (threadObj.joinable())
threadObj.join();
std::cout<<"Exit of Main function"<<std::endl;
return 0;
}
