I need this input all at once but I cant, it appears one by one

[dummyatplusplus]

this is a program that s intended to appear all at once and the input should start at the initial service with the total appearing at the bottom of the screen indented, but I can't manage because it only appears line by line once ans 'y'...need advice ...tnx

You need to flush the buffer before your cin. This forces every thing out to the screen.

Either use endl which flushes and gives a newline or cout.flush() if you don't want a new line character. It would also be better to use endl instead of "\n".

i tried the flush but no effect, anyway everything is done,,,thanks for d' help!

The cin stream is tied to cout so any time you use it the output is automatically flushed. Arguments rage both ways but the only difference between '\n' and endl is the latter adds a flush to the former (and maybe a sync).

I'm not sure I understand what it is you are trying to do. Do you mean that you are trying to place the total on a different part of the display than where the user is answering questions?
