cin作为while循环的条件

实例：输入最多五只鱼(也可为三只，或四只)的重量，求平均值

#include <iostream>
const int MAX = 5;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    float fish[MAX], total = 0;
    int i = 0;
    cout << "Please enter the weights of your fish.\n"
         << "You may enter up to 5 fish <q to terminate>\n";
    cout << "fish #1:";
    while(i < MAX - 1 && cin >> fish[i])   
    {
        i++;
        cout << "fish #" << i + 1 << ":";
    }
    cin >> fish[MAX - 1];
    for(int j = 0; j < i; j++)
        total += fish[j];
    cout << total/i << " = average weight of " << i << " fish" << endl << "Done1\n";
    return 0;
}

在上例中，cin >> fish[i]实际上是一个cin方法函数调用，该函数返回cin。但是当cin位于测试条件中，则被转换为bool类型，如果输入成功，则被转换成true，如果输入不成功，则被转换成false。
