Nested Loops Help

My code is supposed to allow you to input all the inches of rain for the year, then adds them up at the end. when i run the code, i can only input januarys rain amount, then it just goes through the code, not allowing further inputs.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    double rain, total=0, average;
    int years, inputRainAmount;
    bool inputFail;
    const string MONTHS_NAMES [] = {"Jan" , "Feb", "Mar", "Apr","May",
    "Jun","Jul","Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"};
    
    do {
    cout << "Please enter the amount of years: ";
    cin >> years;
    inputFail = cin.fail() || years <=0;
    
    if (inputFail==true)
    {
              cout << "Error: number of years must be >0" << endl;
              cin.clear();
              cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '\n');
    }
} while (inputFail);


for (int i = 1; i <=years; i++)
{
         cout << "\nStarting year number " << i << endl;

         for (int j = 0; j <= 11; j++)
         {
             cout << "\nEnter amount of rain for " << MONTHS_NAMES[j]<< ":" ;
             //input validation
             cin >> inputRainAmount;
             
             total += rain; 
             }
             }
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

So you input a variable called inputRainAmount:
cin >> inputRainAmount;

Then you increment the total by a variable called rain:
total += rain;

Spot anything odd?

okay. got that. now it goes to february then cycles through. (it ran once but now is doing the same ordeal after january.)

holy crap i got it. i had the inputRainAmount as an int and was typing in decimals. thank you very much.
