c++

im new to c++ and have a little problem with a project. I need to read the input from the user that follows the following format.. LETTER SPACE NUMBERS .. The only method we've learned so far is cin for reading user inputs, and cin will only read the letter since there is a space in the user input. I've googled a bit and found the function getline, but now I don't know how to read what letter they entered and the number separately... help.

Q
Stopped reading there.

Fuck this letter. This is the shittiest character in the world. People who open their posts with it deserve to die.
This horrible letter doesn't merely mean that the post is devoid of any form of kality, it also means that your post is actively trying to skuander my precious time.

Are you a Queer?

Hmm. I think I like it.

I didn't say that. I said it bothers me that people consider starting new projects in C or C++. There is no need for that. Well, maybe C, for microcontrollers, but EE guys don't usually hang in ihbt.

What is they have a project that can't be SLOW AS FUCK

>>45
That explains C, but still not Sepples.

Agreed. Programming in C++/C or even Java is like being flogged with a warm lettuce.

More likely it bothers him that programmers assume C or C++ is suited to their needs, even when it patently isn't. That people have no idea what their needs actually are.

>>48
More like people don't know programming, so could not even properly evaluate a language to suit their needs, even if they understood their own needs, which they don't.

I rage at all these people who write their programs in C++ when it's patently obvious they ought to be using Fortran!

>>47
This is exactly why I do it.

F77 or F90?

If your compiler can handle it, taking advantage of features all the way up to F95 should be nothing but an advantage for everyone involved.
That you're doing high-performance scientific computing certainly shouldn't be a reason not to have recursive functions and a FORALL statement.

Functional programming is for babies who are unable to understand intensely difficult subjects such as what an integer is and how many bits in a byte.
It's the cancer that's killing programming.
You think Java developers are idiots? Just look at your average schemer.

doh ho ho.
In the real world functional programming is a joke, and functional programmers are village idiots.

Fortran is the best anyway.
