question for any C++ progammers

\_ I am pretty new to C++, compiling, etc., I really want to learn this
\_ stuff... I am trying to figure out how to validate input from a user to
\_ make it accept only positive numeric values.

Cheat. Use implicit type conversion or something. Fall back to
sprintf/sscanf if you need to. YMMV, C++ has been a long time back
now.

Sorry, replace "Cheat" with "use existing technology as it was meant
to be used."
