Ignoring my input (as a bad thing)

This is part of an incomplete tic-tac-toe program. Whenever I FIRST input my move, insted of clearing the screen, it just moves the cursu down and ignores what I put it. But when I put it in again, the program never does that again. I will attach the exe.

PHP Code:

---

array turn()
{
    array result = new float[2];
    char UserInput[4];

try putting cin.ignore(); function after the getline

what does the following line mean?

array result = new float[2];

is array typedefed as float * or something?

in your program, what comes before the first call to turn()?

Your game also never ends . It doesn't check for the winning condition (three noughts or three crosses in a row), and it doesn't check to see if the board is full.

I said INCOMPLETE, you moron. I've completed it now, anyway.



Thanks for the help, Neandrake; worked.

The program and code are attached.
