    First, don't use gets! EVER!

    Second, there's not enough code here to say. Copy your entire code and the exact errors you are receiving.

    Although, if this isn't a typo, this is a problem:

    Code:
    inn>catches

    Don't use gets/fgets in a C++ environment. A good substitute is std::string and std::getline:

    std::string name;
    std::getline(std::cin, name);
