Prerequisites: Atom as code editor with gpp-compiler(plugin), that uses g++ to compile and run cpp files in the editor.
Some not real example code to understand the problem:
int main()
{
int number;
while(cin >> number)
{
cout << "Your number is " << number << endl;
}
}
So this program can easily compile by g++ compiler, the problems appears at runtime, when compiled program starts in terminal and... It's just don't work. There is no something else but "Press any key to continue..." There is no even mistakes.
So the compiler cannot support this loop argument? (while(cin>>number))
And yes, gpp-compiler in Atom works fine with other types of scripts.
Sorry, if this question is stupid but i just want to know why this happens. Thank you!
Some edits:
So yeah. I can't competently explain my problem. So my problem is not the while loop argument, i just don't understand why program starts in empty terminal(with message above), while on my phone it also compiles by g++ and the program works perfectly .-.

Answer 1

The (cin >> number) condition always evaluates to true until you send an EOF character to it. On Windows it is Ctrl + Z. The reason you are not seeing anything on standard output is that the program waits for your to enter a value and press Enter. Afterwards it enters the endless loop. Modify your program to include some simple logic:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
char choice = 'y';
int number;
while (std::cin && choice == 'y') {
std::cout << "Enter the number: ";
std::cin >> number;
std::cout << "Your number is " << number << std::endl;
std::cout << "Repeat? y / n: ";
std::cin >> choice;
}
}
