Answer:

cin.ignore function written as  cin.ignore()

Explanation:

  • As we know that cin is an object that is used to obtain the input entered by the user through the keyboard.
  • cin.ignore() is a function which is used to ignore or skip one or more characters in the keyboard buffer.
  • Keyboard buffer is a small storage area which is used to store keystrokes.
  • When a key is pressed on the keyboard it is referred to as a keystroke.
  • So before processing, these keystrokes are stored in keyboard buffer.
  • So when we use cin to input a character from the user through the keyboard, the keyboard buffer must be empty. If that's not done then the character entered will be taken by the buffer of previous variable.
  • Lets take an example of why we want to use cin.ignore() function.
  • For example you want the employee (user) to enter his name and you are using cin to read this name from the user.

                                          char empname[8];

                                           cin>>empname;

  • Now if the user types his name lets say Anonymous and press enter key this will be taken as new line character and it will store this newline character \n into the buffer.
  • cin >> statement reads data from the buffer and stops reading when it reaches newline character.
  • So Anonymous is read in and stored in empname variable but newline character is left in the keyboard buffer.                          
  • Lets say after cin>>empname we write another statement that takes a character from user. A user wants to enter character "a".

                                char character;

                            character = cin.get();

  • When cin.get finds the newline  character \n in keyboard buffer, it uses it (as cin.get can read the newline character in the buffer) without waiting for the  user to input "a".
  • So cin.ignore() function is used to avoid such situation.
  • We can specify the characters to be ignore within the cin.ignore() function such as cin.ignore(10,'\n') will ignore 10 characters in the buffer before taking new line or until a \n character comes.
  • You can simply use cin.ignore() which will ignore the very next character just as \n in our example. In our example we can use cin.ignore() after the cin>>empname; and before using cin.get();

Alika [10]

Answer:

Following are the code to this question:

#include <iostream>//defining header file

using namespace std;

int main()//defining main method

{

int x[]={2,3,4,6,7,8,9,1,11,12};//defining 1-D array and assign value

int i,sum=0;//defining integer variable

for(i=0;i<10;i++)//defining loop for count value

{

   if(x[i]%2==1)//defining if block to check odd value

   {

       sum=sum+x[i];//add value in sum variable

   }

}

cout<<sum;//print sum

return 0;

}

Output:

31

Explanation:

In the above-given program, an integer array "x" is declared that holds some integer values, and in the next line two integer variable "i and sum" is defined which is used to calculate the value.

In the next line, a for loop is declared, that counts all array value, and it uses the if block to check the odd value and add all the value into the sum variable.

A cathedral hull allows the boat to do what
Hoochie [10]
It allows power boats to have stability while cruising. The cathedral hull  is like a trimaran in terehat it has one main  and two side hulls stuck together so that has a somewhat square to rectangular shape and therefore exhibits greater stability than a single hulled boat. It became more popular with the advent of fibreglass boats in the 1960's and '70s.
