hello guys,
I came across a strange thing when doing program in c++ in visualc++ environment.just run this code and after entering the array elements press up arrow and down arrow.
Here's the code
#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
int arr[5];
cout<<"Enter the array elements : "<<endl;
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
cin>>arr[i];
cout<<"\n\n";
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cout<<"The element no."<<i<<" is "; \\PRESS THE DIRECTION KEYS NOW
cin>>arr[i];
}
cout<<"\n\n";
}

Or might you be marvelling at the command shell in which your code is running? (F7 is really cool, too!)

But ur code just reminded me of a question that i always wanted to ask,

i am running my code in msvc++ 6.0
ya.the thing i wondered was.. it happens even after giving ignore() and clear() commnds.So it doe not matters with the buffer.So tell me how the previous input stays in that keys particularly?

Again, are you investigating your program or the shell in which it is running?
I am guessing that you are in Windows. I think you are confused by Doskey.
[edit]Go to "Command Prompt" and enter "help doskey". Is this the same behavior you see?

MSVC6 just got it wrong.

To dave:
I was wondering why my MS visual c++ 6.0 is not pointing that out (the thing with i's scopes) as an error, but ur MSVC6 is. My friend's MSVC6 doesnt produce an error either. Since i do not expect u to know what is wrong with my particular compiler without seeing it for urself, i said "Strange, but i m using MS Visual C++ 6.0, too." Got it big bro?
