So, I have just started finishing fixing up all the majority of the work, and I realized when I enter strings with spaces it doesn't work when I try to show it later on.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
//Input: Personal Info
cout << "Enter the diver's name:\t";
cin >> name;
cin.sync(); //clear buffer
cout << "\n" << "Enter the diver's city:\t";
cin >> city;
cin.sync(); //clear buffer
This is because the stream extraction operator (>>) only gets one word, and then std::cin.sync() clears the rest of the buffer, losing it all. Instead, use std::getline():
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main() {
std::string name, city;
// ...
std::cout << "Enter the diver's name:\t";
std::getline(std::cin, name);
// no need for std::cin.sync() here
std::cout << "Enter the driver's city:\n";
std::getline(std::cin, city);
// or here (std::getline() gets all the way to the end of the line)
// ...
}
//Input: Personal Info
cout << "Enter the diver's name:\t";
cin >> name;
getline(cin, name); //allows full name
cout << "\n" << "Enter the diver's city:\t";
cin >> city;
getline(cin, city); //allows full name
So I changed it as you said, and it only gave me the last names. Am I doing it wrong still?
Oh jeez. That was stupid of me. I didn't even realize that the lines you gave me were input commands. Thank you so much! You've saved me hours of grief!
