Attempts to decrease the current location in the stream by one character, making the last character extracted from the stream once again available to be extracted by input operations.
Internally, the function accesses the input sequence by first constructing a sentry object (with noskipws set to
If the call to sungetc fails, the function sets the badbit flag. Note that this may happen even if the function is called right after a character has been extracted from the stream (depending on the internals of the associated stream buffer object).
Calling this function sets the value returned by gcount to zero.
Errors are signaled by modifying the internal state flags:
Multiple flags may be set by a single operation.
If the operation sets an internal state flag that was registered with member exceptions, the function throws an exception of member type failure.
Possible output:
Concurrent access to the same stream object may cause data races.
It throws an exception of member type failure if the resulting error state flag is not goodbit and member exceptions was set to throw for that state.
Any exception thrown by an internal operation is caught and handled by the function, setting badbit. If badbit was set on the last call to exceptions, the function rethrows the caught exception.

Unget character
Internally, the function accesses the input sequence by first constructing a sentry object (with noskipws set to
true). Then (if good), it calls sungetc on its associated stream buffer object (if any). Finally, it destroys the sentry object before returning.
The function clears the eofbit flag, if set before the call.
If the call to sungetc fails, the function sets the badbit flag. Note that this may happen even if the function is called right after a character has been extracted from the stream (depending on the internals of the associated stream buffer object).
Calling this function sets the value returned by gcount to zero.
Parameters
noneReturn Value
The basic_istream object (*this).Errors are signaled by modifying the internal state flags:
| flag | error |
|---|---|
| eofbit | - |
| failbit | The construction of sentry failed (such as when the stream state was not good before the call). |
| badbit | Either the internal call to sungetc failed, or another error occurred on the stream (such as when the function catches an exception thrown by an internal operation, or when no stream buffer is associated with the stream). When set, the integrity of the stream may have been affected. |
If the operation sets an internal state flag that was registered with member exceptions, the function throws an exception of member type failure.
Example

Possible output:
Please, enter a number or a word: 7791 You entered a number: 7791 |
Data races
Modifies the stream object.Concurrent access to the same stream object may cause data races.
Exception safety
Basic guarantee: if an exception is thrown, the object is in a valid state.It throws an exception of member type failure if the resulting error state flag is not goodbit and member exceptions was set to throw for that state.
Any exception thrown by an internal operation is caught and handled by the function, setting badbit. If badbit was set on the last call to exceptions, the function rethrows the caught exception.
