cin.get loop help

[chad05]

When cin.get is in a loop, the second time through it does not store a value. I have it followed by a cin.ignore. Typical code would be

void info()
{
    char name[99],name2[99];
    cout<<"Give me a palindrome.\n";
    cin.get(name,99);
    cin.ignore(10, '\n');
}
 
main ()
{
    clrscr();
    int choice;
    do
    {
    info();
    cin>>choice;
    }
    while (choice==1);
}

Any suggestions??

the problem is probably the newline you entered after typing in choice - it is left in the input stream and cin.get(name,99) immediatly exits. try cin.get() after reading choice

 cin>>  choice;
 cin.get();    // remove newline

I forgot a line of code. Sorry. It always works fine the first time, but the loops never work right.


void info()
{
char name[99],name2[99];
cout<<"Give me a palindrome.\n";
cin.get(name,99);
cin.ignore(10, '\n');
}

main ()
{
clrscr();
int choice;
do
{
info();
cout<<"Do you want to run this again? (1 for yes) \n"; //forgot this line
cin>>choice;
}
while (choice==1);
}

getting rid of the newline work as far as getting repeated loops, but now it won't store the input to the variable.
