Thread: urgent help needed!!!

Hey everyone!
I'm trying to pull this next code and for some reason, a reason i can't understand, the bold line marked in red is being ignored by the compiler. It just skips it and continue to the next line:

Code:

string word, trans, use;
int index;

cin >> choose;
switch (choose)
{
  case (1):
  {
    cout << "Please enter word: " << endl;;
    getline (cin, word, '\n'); 
    cout << "Please enter translation: " << endl;
    getline (cin, trans, '\n'); 
    cout << "Please enter a use of the word in a sentence: " << endl;
    getline (cin, use, '\n'); 
    cout << "Please choose commonness scale: " << endl;
    cin >> index;
    newData = new Data (word, trans, use, index);
    list.insert (*newData);
    break;
  }

in the end of the function both "trans" and "use" are initialized while "word" is not.
help anyone...

You have a double ;; at the end of the first line!

I more than agree but unfortunately that doesn't seem to solve the problem...

Thanks!!!

It should also be in a FAQ because it is a very common pitfall.

Actually, it kind of already is: http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284392
