Integer input?

Posted: 09/10/08 15:22:07 Well, this is a very stupid problem, as I was getting my head around Tango. I'm not at my computer, so I can't test. It seems that Cin' from Console' does not accept integers? I was kinda thinking I could use it like `std::cin' in C++, where I just can have simple integer input.

I know there's some new stream stuff, but I haven't used it. You could try looking what Console.Input.stream gives you. Can't really help any more.

I suppose I could just use scanf from the ol' C. Of course, that means I have to type in another extra import. D/Tango is not behaving like I expect it to, but I guess I gotta get used to it some more. ~edit: So it seems I am to import tango.io.Console for string input, tango.io.Stdout for output (because it's better than Cout), and tango.stdc.stdio for integer input with scanf. That's a lot o' imports for basic console commands. Just thought I'd mention that. Or am I missing something?

And I don't feel like having to convert a string to get integers. I think I will just use scanf for it. But I'm thinking. Would it take much effort to make such an ability for Tango, to have formatted input? I was just having some rough ideas for it. Cool icon, btw, schveiguy, hehe.
