 |
|
When you use the object methoe below to enter a series of characters in a loop,
cin.get(ch);
it is necessary to follow up the loop by clearing the buffer. How is this done?

You can "clear" an input buffer by reading until some character occurs - eg.
a newline. If by "flushing the keyboard buffer until it is empty", there is
no way to do that in std C++. Consult the platform you are developing under.
