// Explanation: These are function prototypes for two little utiltity
// routines to make reading single characters and integers a little
// more robust.
//
// They use cin.getline to read only the first character on the line, 
// or the first integer on the line. 
// 
// Everything else on the input line is discarded.
// If the first input on the line is not a legal integer, 0 is used
// instead.
