inkey()

[Craig]

could anyone help me with the inkey() function within c++? i would just like
to know the parameters allowed and this is my problem...

i need to find the end of an entered formula.
basically find the enter(*pressed) at the end.
i believe it is like this inkey(32) but i'm not sure
my code would be:
do{
} while(inkey(32));

could i also use this:
*replacing just after the while...

(cin >> in[count1]) != ascii(32)
not sure what it is...kinda rusty in the input areas.

thanks for any help given.

inkey() is not a standard C++ function. I don't see any advantage in
using this function instead of getch(), and then cheking the result to
see if it doesn't equal '\n'. It's more readable and maintainable than
using hardcoded ASCII values.
