C++ wait for user input [duplicate]

Answer 1

a do while loop would be a nice way to wait for the user input. Like this:

int main() 
{

 do 
 {
   cout << '\n' << "Press a key to continue...";
 } while (cin.get() != '\n');

 return 0;
}

You can also use the function system('PAUSE') but I think this is a bit slower and platform dependent
