Thread: code acting a bit strange

Hi,
just doing a simple progamme for my younger brother(a funny news spread).The programme asks for his name,favourite simpsons character and the like but halve way thru the code it starts out putting 2 questions without waiting for input from the user.Cant see what im doin wrong,

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main()

{
    string yourName;
    
    cout<<"please enter your name "<<endl;
    getline(cin,yourName);
    
    
    cout<<"thanks "<<yourName<<",would u mind answering afew questions?"<<endl;
    
    string yourGF;
    cout<<"What is your girlfriends name?"<<endl;
    getline(cin,yourGF);
    
    
    int favNumber=0;
    cout<<"what is your favourite number?"<<endl;
    cin>> favNumber;
    
    
    string Party;
    cout<<"what famous peson would u like at your party?"<<endl;
    getline(cin,Party);
    
    
    string hatedPet;
    cout<<"what is the pet animal you hate the most?"<<endl;
    getline(cin,hatedPet);
    
    
    string simpsons;
    cout<<"who is your favourite Simpsons character?"<<endl;
    getline(cin,simpsons);
    
    string favJob;
    cout<<"Nearly finished just a few more questions"<<endl;
    cout<<"What would you most like to do for a living?"<<endl;
    getline(cin,favJob);
    
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

I put in cin.get() at the end so hat the console window doesnt shut
Again any help much appreciated.

>> but halve way thru the code it starts out putting 2 questions without waiting for input from the user.
Exactly which part? You might try putting in a cin.ignore() at the offending lines.

works fine down as far as 'your favourite number',then prints the next 2 questions,then waits for user input and then prints out the next 2 questions.Will try and put in cin.ignore at the offending parts.
thanks for quick reply

Yep Twomer put in the cin.ignore at the offending parts and it works fine.Im just curios why it works without cin.ignore for the 1st few questions and then starts acting quirky..

when you read in the int, there is still the rest of the line there.

If you're too lazy to write English properly why would you expect to ever write code properly?
