Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.comInstallation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler OptionsHere, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File (or Ctrl+N)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As... (or Ctrl+Alt+S)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp extension, such as example.cpp.Now, hitting
F11 should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.Tutorial

See kbhit just checks if there is something in the input buffer. It does not do anything else. Instead you could simply use getch which will take the charachter if its there and if not it will force the user to enter a charachter. That is the safest and most easy way to do what you are tryin to achieve. No hesitation in admitting that I never knew that getch is a system call under DOS, probably may be because I worked very little time on DOS machines, in my initial days (at school) however did a very good & satisfying amount of programming in pascal using Borland's pascal compiler under DOS / win97 systems. Now a natural question, I'd ask is why getch is declared under TurboC's.
Getch In C Programming
What Is Getch In C
Kbhit is present in conio.h and used to determine if a key has been pressed or not. To use kbhit function in your program you should include the header file “conio.h”. If a key has been pressed then it returns a non zero value otherwise returns zero.
