// Lab3.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

--------------------
For this code...why do I need two "getchar()" at the end of the code??? I know that if I have one and try to run the program it will close directly after the user puts in a character, but I don't understnad why exactly you need two getchar() functions to prevent the ms dos window from closing....could somebody explain this?
It have something to do with the way the enter key is translated to the input stream (stdin)... I know that in a text document (saved by a windows app for instance) that an enter is usually translated to an 0x0D followed by an 0x0A (CR and LF respectively) so the first getchar() will eat the LF and the second getchar() will wait for a key.
