C++ Programming
Hello I need help with validating the enter key to exit the program. When the user enters y or Y, the user can continue using the program however, if the user inputs anything else (including pressing the Enter Key) the program should close. My program is currently allowing special characters, numerical values and alphabetical characters but not the Enter Key. So in short, I need the program to accept the enter key along with the other characters to terminate the program. So once a user presses the enter key(or any other key besides y or Y), the program should end. Any help is greatly appreciated! In the code, it will be located at the end of main.
RESTRICTIONS:
No global variables, labels or go-to statements, infinite loops, break statements. String literals are allowed BUT not variables of type string.
