This is the part of my code that takes the input :

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        cin >> a >> b;
        A.insert(std::pair<unsigned int, bool>(a, b));
        total += a;
        if (b == 1)
            totalI++;
    }

I can obviously just type it all but there must be a shorter way and I want to know what it is. Or is there some other tool / IDE I can use. I am using Visual Studio 2015 (Community)

Answer 1

Just redirect input to the program.

C:\> my_litte_program <mydata.txt

To run the program that way from within Visual Studio 2015, just configure it in the project's debug options:

This works also for running without debugging, e.g. via Ctrl+F5.
