Easy C++ question (in MS-DOS)

by stan Dec 5, 2003 2:04AM PST

Hi
Is there a way pause your program when it runs (just after compiling it).
I have a simple program that does some simple matrix calculations. It does not take user input. It does the calculations on a simple 3x3 matrix, saves the result in a file and then exits.

What i want to do is this. I want the program to start with this statement:
"Strike any key when ready!"

How do i write the code for doing this. For exampe when the person hits the space bar the program would continue running.

Thanks.

Re:Easy C++ question (in MS-DOS)... For Google.

http://www.google.com/search?&q=C%2B%2B+PRESS+ANY+KEY+CODE finds the answer in less than 1 second. The simplest code is in about the fourth response.

Have you seen what you can do with Google?
