What is the difference between...
Hey guys,I wonder what's the difference between
"cin.ignore(numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max()" and "cin.sync()"
"cin.ignore(numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max()" and "cin.sync()"
"As with readsome(), it is implementation-defined whether this function does anything with library-supplied streams. The intent is typically for the next read operation to pick up any changes that may have been made to the associated input sequence after the stream buffer last filled its get area. To achieve that, sync() may empty the get area, or it may refill it, or it may do nothing. A notable exception is Visual Studio, where this operation discards the unprocessed input when called with a standard input stream."
tl;dr If you're using Visual Studio, there is no difference. If you're not using Visual Studio, I have no idea what it does.
