Thread: problem of input in member function of class

There is no syntax error here:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class A
{
public:
void get_input();
}
void main()
{
     A obj1,obj2;
     cout<<"Input 1:";
     obj1.get_input();
     cout<<"Input 2:";
     obj2.get_input();
}
void A::get_input()
{
        char Array[10];
	cin.getline(Array,10);
}

Sometimes I get this and it is exactly what it is supposed to be :

Code:

Input 1://get input 1 first
Input 2://then get input 2

but I get this sometimes:

Code:

Input 1:Input 2:

What's wrong with it?

Oops, I often forget to add ; after }.

Yes, there is input before calling get_input()
I added cin.ignore();after each get_input(). I still get the unwanted output. How to avoid this?

if there is other input ( like cin >> x; ) before calling get_input() then you should add the ignore before calling get_input().

Thx!

>> There is no syntax error here:
Technically, void main should be an error on a standards-compliant compiler (it should be int main). Also, you #include <string> but do not use the C++ string class in your code. Switching from C style strings (character arrays) to the C++ string class is a good diea. If you cannot or do not want to switch, and you are using C style string manipulation functions like strcpy or strlen, then you should #include <cstring> or <string.h>, not <string>.
