How do I display 3 names at a time, pausing to let the user press a key before the list continues displaying.
My code now only loops the first 3 values of the array
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using std::setw;
using namespace std;
int main() {
string a;
string names[10]; //size of array
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
std::cout << "Enter name ";
std::cin >> a; //user input
names[i] = a; //assigns input to array
}
cout << "\n";
for (int k = 0; k < 10; k++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
{
cout << names[j] << endl;
}
system("pause");
}
}
I changed the answer based on your comment. Instead of sleeping we just pause and wait until user inputs anything into the keyboard. Also a note, since you're using namespace, you don't need to include std::
, I decided to use it since I was unsure what way you wanted.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using std::setw;
using namespace std;
int main() {
string a;
int pauseCheck = 0; //new var
string names[10]; //size of array
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
std::cout << "Enter name ";
std::cin >> a; //user input
names[i] = a; //assigns input to array
}
cout << "\n";
for (int k = 0; k < 10; k++) {
cout << names[k] << endl;
pauseCheck++; //increments check
if (pauseCheck == 3) { //if equals 3
system("pause"); //we pause till user input
pauseCheck = 0; //reset pause check
}
}
system("pause"); //last and final pause before program ends
}
