JTK1996,
Thanks, I will try your suggestion.
The third bot in the sample case, I believe, could work both ways... that might be what tricked me
While, getting it wrong, as apparently I did, would give the wrong answer in a croner, for instance...

Thanks again: good thinking !

Heck, I don't see what's wrong with it:
If you see something wrong, let me know, please.
Thanks in advance.

Supermin: my dumb $0.02:

I think for a while.....but I still can't figure out how to do the "blank line" except the last group..

Put a blank line before every group except the first?

Just a hint, HTH

Thanks, Fresh.
Someone else actually suggested that the code as it is now should work great for submission to the Online Judge. So, I'll try it as-is.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks EZE, and Zorba. I'll try to submit it as-is and come up with a testing scheme using files or sentinel values.

Well, I did post this in the Volume I forum, but maybe it is more appropriate here in C++. ANyhow, the question makes explicit reference to P105, but disregard that, since it is really a generic problem I'm having because the inputs here come from cin rather than a filestream ...

So, p 105 is an example, but not the only one.
In many problems we have to read input until the end of the stream. Now, if this was a file (for ex named infile), we could have loops that check on infile.fail, or loops while(infile) (depending).
Since this is cin, not a filestream, how do you keep on ...

Well, I'll say !
Hate to post a solution that is nothing special, but I am getting the "Memory Limit Exceeded" reply form the judge, and I sure am wondering where the leak might come from. So, please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks in advance (sorry if the indentation looks bad ...
