![]() Here’s a sample run: How old are you? foo Use std::cin.clear() and std::cin.ignore(). Iostreams rather than generic structured programming guidelines.) How can I get std::cin to skip invalid input characters? While ((std::cin > i) & (i != -1)), but that’s not really the point of this FAQ since this FAQ has to do with Std::cout > i // BAD FORM - See comments below Why does my program go into an infinite loop when someone enters an invalid input character?įor example, suppose you have the following code that reads integers from std::cin: #include You automatically get to use the zillions of lines of I/O code written by users you don’t even know, and theyĭon’t need to know about your “extended stream” class. ![]() ![]() Other user-defined things that look and act like streams, yet that do whatever strange and wonderful things you Unlike ’s FILE*, these are real classes and hence inheritable. Inheritable: The C++ mechanism is built from real classes such as std::ostream and.Imagine the chaos if everyone was simultaneously adding new incompatible "%" fields to printf() and Extensible: The C++ mechanism allows new user-defined types to be I/O’d without breaking existingĬode.Removing redundancy removes a class of errors. Less error prone: With, there are no redundant "%" tokens that have to be consistent with theĪctual objects being I/O’d.InĬontrast, uses "%" fields to figure out the types dynamically. ![]() More type-safe: With, the type of object being I/O’d is known statically by the compiler.C++ I/O (using >) is, relative to C (using printf() and Printf() is arguably not broken, and scanf() is perhaps livable despite being error prone, however both are limited Increase type safety, reduce errors, allow extensibility, and provide inheritability. Input/output via and Why should I use instead of the traditional ? ![]()
