I think this is some bug..?

#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<iostream.h>


char char1[20];
char char2[20];

void GetChar1();
void GetChar2();

int main()
{
int ch=0;

while(ch!=3)
{
cout<<"\nEnter ch: ";
cin>>ch;
if(ch==1)
GetChar1();
if(ch==2)
GetChar2();
}
getch();
return 0;
}

void GetChar1()
{
cout<<"Get Char1\n\n";
gets(char1);

cout<<"Char1: "<<char1;
getch();
}

void GetChar2()
{
cout<<"Get Char2\n\n";
gets(char2);
cout<<"Char2: "<<char2;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



I am using DevC++ 4.9.9.6
I have done C++ programming before. I never encountered this type of error. What happens is that..when i enter my choice as '1', it goes to the "GetChar1()" function...but doesnt execute the gets(char1) statement in that function. Same thing happens if i enter my choice as '2'.

Please help

See Why is my program ignoring my input request after the first iteration?

PS. Please use code tags when posting code.

So why are you posting in the Visual C++ forum? You should have posted in the non-Visual C++ forum.

First, this header:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

---

is not the correct ANSI C++ header. The correct header is

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

---

That header you're using now is non-standard (it doesn't even exist in any version of Visual C++ that is less than 10 years old), and nothing guarantees that the header implements streams correctly, according to the ANSI standard.

If you changed your header to <iostream> then we can tell you if there is a problem or not, as <iostream> must behave correctly, according to the ANSI/ISO standard. Otherwise, your <iostream.h> behaviour is acting as designed by the implementor and you can't complain.
