conio.h does not exist on UNIX and Linux systems.

For this chunk of code you can just reuse std::cin to read in the next input.

so its the getch thats not working because theres no conio.h right? so what would i use in xcode instead of getch

Like kainjow said just use std::cin again, with a new variable.

This question can get pretty complex depending on how you want to do it. Google "Non-blocking user input without ncurses" for tips.
