key in function

[composter]

hey, if i want a user to press a keyboard key(like "k") anytime during a loop so something will happen in addition to everything else in the loop,
how do i do that?

like

for(int a=0; a<100; a++){cout<<"somthing";
//if user press K
//cout<<"more something";
}

If you use Windows, you can use the GetAsyncKeyState() function call from <windows.h> . Otherwise, use getch() from <conio.h>
