Strange bug....

Hi
When i compile my code, it works alright, no errors, but when i run it, i get to a certain point where the program sort of goes out of control.
Here is the code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>   
using namespace std;       

int main()     
{
  int DOB;
  int AGE;
  int MONTH;
  int DATE;
  do     
  {
          cout << "Please enter your date of birth...\n" << endl;
          cin >> DOB;       
          cin.ignore();       
          if (DOB < 2006)
      {
                  cout << "Really? What day?\n" << endl;
                  cin >> DATE;
                  cin.ignore();
          }
          else if (DOB == 2006)
      {
                  cout << "Really? How old are you?\n" << endl;
                  cin >> AGE;
                  cout << "...and what month?\n" << endl;
                  cin >> MONTH;
                  cin.ignore();
          }
          else
      {
                  cout << "What are you on about? You arn't even born yet!\n" << endl;
          }
  }
  while(DOB != -1);         
  cin.get();     
}

How does it not work?

i don't know, u key it in ur compiler nd run it, when you get to the date part, i type in 17th or sumfin nd it goes out of control.

don't use 'th' with ints. Check the FAQ. This may be of interest.

You could store it in a string, and only get the integer parts, and ignore the other letters. That is if you want to have the 'th' acceptable to the input.

i fixed it, but i used char[4] instead
