Communicating with another process in C++??

[Gil]

Does anyone know of a feature in C++ that we can use for interprocess
communication? Specifically, I need one process to request a number
from another process.

Inter process communication is a feature of operating systems, not the C++
language. So you need to ask in group dedicated to whatever operating system
you are programming.

The C++ standard doesn't even define processes. From the standard's
point of view, there is only your program, nothing else. So you have to
use extensions specific to your OS. Most OSs suport a lot of different
IPC methods.
