Get input example

[ALONSO MANUEL PEREZ GUANILO]

Hi everyone!

I want to know why in the second example of c++ course of the Getting Started I cannot get the sentence in the if conditional: if(!(cin>>input_var)){ cout<<"You entered a non-numeric. Exiting..."<<endl;

It doesn't work because I use windows and not linux? or because my IDE it's different. I use NetBeans.

Can I get the screenshot of the error that you are getting?
In the if condition we are trying to get the input from the console and storing it in a variable( input_var ) it is most probably of integer type although you have not mentioned it. And if you'll enter any character or a string in the input this "if" block will execute.
