    flushing invalid output

    // for example

    int choice=0;
    cout<<"Enter your choice please\n";
    cin>>choice;

    Question: If the user enters an integer, it is alright. However, if he enters lets say an alphabet, what should I do to flush the input out. Or else, the screen will flood. Thanks!

    Read the FAQ . There's plenty of help in there
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
