userInput

The userInput function provides a means to accessing a single value from the user. Each invocation outputs a provided statement/question and takes an entire line of input. The result is then converted to the requested type; default is a string.

auto name = userInput("What is your name");
//or
string name;
userInput("What is your name", name);

T userInput(string question = "")
void userInput(string question, ref T result)
void
userInput
(
T = string
)
(
string question
,
ref T result
)

Return Value
