char ch; // ch is a variable that holds a character
// curious \n is a "line feed" control character,
// it moves the cursor to the next line:

std::cin.clear(); // this clears cin state
std::cin.get( ch ); // this reads a character from the keyboard,
// and pauses the program from before exiting
}
// This function takes string parameter and returns the uppercase
// string back to the caller:
