loops and classes

[imohamme5]

I can easily hard code the required data, but I am having trouble using a loop to enter the data into the class.

Currently the program is skipping the first name, and outputting missing the first character of the name. How would I rectify this?

  ////Task 2: Band
#include <iostream>
#include "Member.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int size = 0;
	cout << "Enter the amount of members of the band: ";
	cin >> size;

	Member* band = new Member[size];
	

	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		string x;
		cout << "Enter name: ";
		getline(cin, x);
		cin.ignore();
		band[i].stageName(x);
	
	}


	for (int j = 0; j < size; j++)
	{
		cout << endl << band[j].getStageName() << endl;
	}
	
	
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

//Member Class

#include "Member.h"

Member::Member()
{
}

Member::~Member()
{
}

void Member::stageName(string x)
{
	name = x;
}

void Member::instrument(string y)
{
	instrum = y;
}

string Member::getStageName()
{
	return name;
}

string Member::getInstrument()
{
	return instrum;
}

You need to move line 19 to line 10, then it works. At the end of main you should delete your pointer.

int main()
{
	int size = 0;
	cout << "Enter the amount of members of the band: ";
	cin >> size;
       cin.ignore();

	Member* band = new Member[size];
	

	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		string x;
		cout << "Enter name: ";
		getline(cin, x);
		band[i].stageName(x);
	
	}


	for (int j = 0; j < size; j++)
	{
		cout << endl << band[j].getStageName() << endl;
	}
	
       delete [] band;
	
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the amount of members of the band: 3
Enter name: Tim
Enter name: Tom
Enter name: Anna

Tim

Tom

Anna

Thank you, I feel so silly. cin.ignore() should always come after the cin?
