Why doesnt it want me to use getline

[BairdGoW]

why is getline not allowed here and also whey is the else statement not supposed to be and where do i put the break if i want it to exit the loop if they answer correct

#include<string>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void game(void);

int SecretNumber = 3;
int Counter = 0;

string Correct = "You guessed my Number!!";
string Incorrect = "You guessed wrong try again";


void game(int guess, string Correct, string Incorrect)
{
	do
	{
		cout << "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10 guess till you get it correct";
		getline(cin, guess);
		cin.ignore(999, '\n');
		if (!cin.fail());
		cin.clear();
		cin.ignore(999, '\n');
		cout << "You need to enter a. Try again.";
	}
		while (guess != SecretNumber);
		++Counter && cout << Incorrect << "You have guessed" << Counter << "times";
			
		else 
			cout << Correct;
			break;
}


int main(void)
{
	game();


	cin.ignore(999, '\n'); 
	cout << "Press ENTER to finish...";
	return 0;
}

Possibly because getline() only works with strings not integers.

also whey is the else statement not supposed to be

An else statement required an if() statement.
