Thread: MINOR char ERROR

when you cout your name, you actually couting only index 30 of the array. it should be like this:

Code:

cout<<"\n NAME: "<<NAME;

our problem is when you enter an int before a string it doesnt clear the buffer so implement a small ClearBuffer() function like this:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void ClearBuffer()
{
     char Dummy[30];
     getline (cin, Dummy);
}

void PRINT(int INT, float FLOAT, double DOUBLE, char MI, char NAME[30])
    {cout<<"\n Please enter a value for int: "; cin>>INT;
     cout<<" Please enter a value for float: "; cin>>FLOAT;
     cout<<" Please enter a value for double: "; cin>>DOUBLE;
     cout<<" Please enter a value for mi: "; cin>>MI;
     ClearBuffer();
     cout<<" Please enter a value for Name: "; cin.getline(NAME,30);

     cout<<"\n\n INT: "<<INT;
     cout<<"\n FLOAT: "<<FLOAT;
     cout<<"\n DOUBLE: "<<DOUBLE;
     cout<<"\n MI: " <<MI;
     cout<<"\n NAME: "<<NAME[30]; }


main()
{   int INT; float FLOAT; double DOUBLE; char MI, NAME[30];

    PRINT(INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, MI, NAME);

      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

I tried that..it's still not working

sorry i made some changes to it, try it again, instead of "string Dummy" try "char Dummy[30]"

...Still Unsuccessful..is this the only way of doing it? i also tried #define CB cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail())

//
....
....
...
cin>>MI; CB;
...
....
//

and it still doesn't work.
