Thread: Need help with this While statement

Heres the statement, will explain problem after

Code:

//Lab 02 - 4.16 Salary Calculator

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
    int hoursWorked = 0;
    int hourlyRate = 0;
    int salary = 0;
    
    cout << "Enter hours worked (-1 to end): ";
    cin >> hoursWorked;
    cout << "Enter hourly rate of employee (00.00): ";
    cin >> hourlyRate;
    
    while(hoursWorked > -1)
    {
                      if(hoursWorked <= 40)
                      {
                      salary = hoursWorked*hourlyRate;
                      cout << "Salary is: " << salary << endl;
                      }
                      else
                      {
                      salary = (40 * hourlyRate) + (hoursWorked - 40)*hourlyRate;
                      cout << "Salary is: " << salary << endl;
                      }
    cout << "Enter hours worked (-1 to end): ";
    cin >> hoursWorked;
    cout << "Enter hourly rate of employee (00.00): ";
    cin >> hourlyRate;
    }
    
    system("pause"); 
	return 0;
}

The problem I'm getting is that after entering the hoursWorked and hourlySalary it constantly repeats 'Enter hours worked (-1 to end): Salary is 390.00' over and over untill I turn the program off, just getting started back after not programming for a while so its probably a stupid mistake, please help! :P

You may wish to search for how to clean the input buffer. Oh so common issue. Oh so trivial solution.
You should find an answer in no time.

Really? I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with the loop itself, but with the input buffer problem.
