Hello I''m pretty new to programming and I have a program wherein I use the while (!_kbhit() ); string of code several times. The problem is that it only works sometimes. I''ve tried cout<C++ 6.0

I''d have to agree with my esteemed colleague Dr. Nes on the "Evil! Evil!!!" part... but really, the reason it''s not working all the time might be that you''re hitting a key that has an extended (2-byte) ASCII code. For instance, if you press an arrow key, PgUp, PgDown, etc., two characters are sent to the keyboard buffer instead of just one: a null character, followed by an identifying character. It could be that when you press such a key, it triggers two of your kbhit statements, one for the null, and one for the second byte. Just a guess, though, since I never use that evil stuff myself.
