For one of my HW problems it says "Ask user for initials." So I do the whole deal and write the the code. The next question is "Ask user for phone number." This is where the problem arises. Whenever I enter my initials, it will show them then skip all the code I have written under that line!

So for example

Please enter your initials
ABC
Please enter your phone number
all my cout lines


It doesn't even let me enter my phone number! Instead it just shows the code under but doesn't letter the user input anything. Any help? Also for some reason, say I enter a number for my initials, it works fine...lets me enter my phone number and everything else

I was thinking I have to create a variable for every initial but I'm not 100% sure.
