Pressing any key to achieve something?

Nov 20, 2015 at 2:41am
How do I code something to where if any key is pressed it will do something such as returning a small program to its original state? I was thinking that an "if" statement would work with an "or" operator, however it would be tedious to do every key. I am a beginner so any help would be appreciated, as I am completely confused right now.

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h> // include this to use the _getch() function

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Pressing Any Key to Achieve Something: Test' << std::endl;
    std::cout << "press any key to continue . . .   ";
        _getch(); 

    std::cout << "Good Job! Press any key to exit . . .";
        _getch(); 

    std::cout << endl;
    std::cout << "Terminating Program..." << std::endl;
        return 0;
} 


Hope that helps. Play around with it to get the results you want.

If you have something more specific in mind, i'd be happy to help.
