hello everyone!
i'm new in studying c++ and i'm a bit geting confused :(
#include<iostream>
#include<istream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int b;
cout << "enter b value:";
cin >> b;
cout << "the value of b is:" << b;
return(getchar());
}
why doesn't it execute??

This program works for me.

enter b value:5
the value of b is:5

@Gyova , compiler is not same .

maybe we using same compiler .
and Kindly use code tag . it's look messy

change your

return(getchar());

to
return 0;

maybe you're using older compilies...

i looked in the previous archieves related problems and tried "cin.get(); 2times" and it worked.could someone explain the reason of using this statement 2 times? ,
and thank you everyone for the reply,i'll appreciate ur concern

[Gyova]

@chipp ,
actually yes. i think it is old version but i do not know(my bad) how to update it

[chipp]

afaik, the first is to extract stream from buffer, the 2nd for waiting the user's input ('\n')
