Using get() to read multiple keyboard input

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I'm curious to know whether it's possible to use get() in this situation:
1   ask user to type some numbers, each separated by a space
2   enter the whole set of numbers
3   read the numbers      -- can you use get() here?
4   compute their average
5   display the average to screen

The point of my query is that get() has to be issued separately for each
number - which is OK if you know beforehand how many numbers the user will
enter. If the choice is left up to the user (so it may vary at each program
run), is it possible to write code that can "sense" how many numbers have
been entered? This value could then be used to call get() the required
number of times.

Thank you
