Hi today i was trying to constantly check the connectivity of users while there is a cin..

this is the code:

while (true)
{
    if (InternetCheckConnection(networkBuffer, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0) != false)
    {
        while (cin >> userInput)
        {
            cout << "> " << userInput << endl;
        }
    } else {
        break;
    }
}

I'm sure that the problem is cin but i have to check constantly the users connectivity (also while there is a cin in progress). Is it possible to do such a thing?

Thanks.

You need to use threads. – HolyBlackCat Sep 06 '18 at 22:20
Many platforms have ways to do this other than threads. But threads is probably the easiest way if you're using a platform that supports `std::thread`. – David Schwartz Sep 06 '18 at 22:28
