Thread: Removing letter from number problem

Hello. I'm learning C++ for personal use, and I'm having some trouble.

Code:

//Here are includes, the prototype, and using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int testnumber = 0;
    cout<<"Hi! This is the Even or Odd program! Please type a number to determine if it's odd or even!"
    <<"\nIf you want to exit, please hit 0!\n";
    while(!(cin >> testnumber))
    {
        cin.clear();
        cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
        cout<<"That is not a number! Please get rid of any decimals, and write a number!\n"
            <<"If you want to exit the program, please hit 0!\n";
    }
    EvenOdd(testnumber);
    cout<<"Thank you for using this program! Hit enter to exit.";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

int EvenOdd(int numero)
{
    if(numero == 0)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    if(numero % 2 == 0)
    {

        cout<<numero <<" is an even number!\nPlease enter another number! "
        <<"If you want to exit, please hit zero!\n";
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<numero <<" is an odd number!\nPlease enter another number!\n"
        <<"If you want to exit, please hit zero!\n";
    }
    while(!(cin >> numero))
    {
        cin.clear();
        cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
        cout<<"That is not a number! Please get rid of any decimals, write a new number, and hit enter!\n"
            <<"If you want to exit the program, please hit 0!\n";
    }
    return EvenOdd(numero);
}

As you can see, the program rejects the input if it is a letter. However, if I were to type "9s", the check would pass the value of 9 to EvenOdd. I would rather let the user determine if they should change the number. Thank you!

Perhaps you should study getline and use that. Then you could search the string that you get for letters, or check if it is only a number in some manner.
