PARKINGL Input Question

[leppyr64]

I normally use C#, but have started using C++ for some other sites.

How do I handle the input for:
spoj.pl/problems/PARKINGL/

I can't figure out how to know when to make my program terminate.

[Simes_sof]

At the risk of stating the obvious... Each dataset ends with a blank line, and the number of datasets is the first line of input, so simply terminate after the processing the final dataset.

simes,
No worries

How do I read the blank line? Using scanf and cin the app just sits waiting, it's not reading the blank line.

int getInt()
{
	char s[10];
	cin >> s;
	printf("-%d-\n",s[0]);
	return atoi(s);
}

I put the above sample together, it won't print anything for the blank line though. The other method was replacing the cin line with scanf("%s", &s);

Ah I see.

I've not used C or C++ for a long while now, but if you read the 1st character of the line using a %c, you'll either get a carriage return (windows) or a line feed (*nix). If you get something else, read the remainder of the line, put it all together and convert it to an integer.

But there's probably a better way!

scanf skips whitespace. You'll want to use getline instead.

Cheers! AC now. Thanks TripleM

How can I terminate the input for each dataset?
