Infinate Loop

When i try to run my program i get an infinate loop and i dont understand why

Code:

---

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        string PlayerFullName, CharacterName, Class, Race, Password, stop, Racials;
        int hp = 0, xp = 0, mana = 0, sp = 15, SwitchRace;

        system("color 0a");
    system("cls");

    cout<<"\nEnter the DM Password or you shall be smited: ";
    getline(cin, Password, '\n');

    if (Password == "god")
    {
    system("cls");
    cout<<"\n\nyou truly are an evil gm\n\n Would you like to create a Player?(yes or no): ";
    cin>>stop;
  while (stop == "yes")
  {
 
    cout<<"Enter Player Full Name: ";
        getline(cin, PlayerFullName, '\n');
    cin.get();
   
        cout<<"\nEnter Character Name: ";
        getline(cin, CharacterName, '\n');
    cin.get();
   
        cout<<"\nEnter Class: ";
        getline(cin, Class, '\n');
    cin.get();
   
        cout<<"\nplayable races\n Good Aligned\n________\n(1)Human\n(2)Gnome\n(3)Halfling\n(4)Dwarf\n(5)Elf\n(6)Animal Folk\n(7)Seelie Fae\n\nEvil Aligned\n________\n(1)Human\n(8)Kobold\n(9)Goblin\n(10)Orc\n(11)Dark Elf\n(6)Animal Folk\n(12)Unseelie Fae \ntype the numbers that are next to the race name, to select that race.\n\nEnter Race: ";           
    cin>>SwitchRace;
    cin.ignore();
   
    switch ( SwitchRace )

> cin>>stop;
> while (stop == "yes")
After the cin you should probably add either:

Code:

---

cin.ignore(80,'\n');

---

Or:

Code:

---

cin.ignore();

---

Like, infinite loop as in blinking cursor, or infinite loop as in screen after screen of scrolling text?

Code:

---

default:
  cout<<"\n that is not a Race! try again: ";
  cin>>SwitchRace;
  cin.ignore();
  break;

---

This does not start the switch statement all over again. You need a loop of some kind.

an infinatate loop as in it just keeps flashing text by tou know what i mean well i ahve to eat right now but ill brb to work on this

i put cin.ignore() after

cin>>stop;
while (stop == "yes")

but now it wont go past ( Would you like to create a Player?(yes or no): )

Use your debugger if you have one. Just step over each line of code one at a time, providing input when you need to, until you step over a line that is supposed to wait for input but keeps going instead. Whatever was the last read before that will probably be what is leaving the stream in a bad state or leaving extra characters in the stream.

ok thanks i got it

it compiled once then it started doing the same thing it was before .... i need help badly and my debugger isn't helping me at all

>i put cin.ignore() after

>cin>>stop;
>while (stop == "yes")

After the cin and before the loop?

Code:

---

cin>>stop;
cin.ignore();
while (stop == "yes")
