Eof And C++

[iccaros]

ok I need to input data.. so I add something like

while ((a = prompt_number ( "enter Number or EOF to quit: " )) != EOF ) ;

the not EOF part is getting me.. is this a trick as eof fro input is control-C right... which kills the program correct?? so an I really just saying .. run program forever.. and I have ot kill the program with control-C..

note since I am checking for correct number input I can't enter EOF as a answer.

EOF is ^D. ^C sends an interrupt signal.

Well, you can, but it calls for a slightly a more interesting approach to input prompts.
