macOS C++ Quick Help

C++ Programming

How do you exit a while loop with an 'x'?
So far I have this
while(cin.good() && iCode!='x')

but if I run this and enter x, it is rejected by the fact it is not numerical
while (!cin.good() || iCode>999).

Also after a cout, how do you clear the line, I believe it is clreol(); but where do you put this to clear the line.

Thanks

Here is a nice little tutorial on loops in C++

You may also want to look into the switch/case statement depending on what you are doing.

Happy Coding

while(cin.good() && iCode!='x')

What type of variable is iCode?

I am not sure how to "clear the line" since that's platform specific. You can do it easily with a curses library, typically ncurses on Linux. As far as the mac, I am not sure. Someone will response hopefully.
