using the following code:
-------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num = 0;
cin >> num;
while (num < 1 || num > 170)
{
cout << "You entered an invalid number, try again:" << endl;
cin >> num;
}
cout << num;
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------------
everything works fine unless i input a character, which prints the cout message over and over again to the screen.
can someone help me with this please
