Thread: infinite loop?

i have a problem:

Code:

int x=0;
  while(x!=6)
  {
   cout<<"in the loop"<<endl;
   cin>>x;
   
  }

when entering a char instead of an int as an input, the loop won't stop running.
How do I fix it? I want it to enter the loop normally, and ask me for a new input(like it does with any integer other than 6..).
Thanks!
