What do I use in this case?

[walaskey]

case 'C':
cout << "\nYou selected a 30 year loan term at 5.75 percent\n" ;

mpaymentAmount = (mloanAmount*((minterestRate[2]/100)/12))/(1-(pow(1+((minterestRate[2]/100)/12),(-(mterm[2]*12))))); //Calculates monthly payment
cout << "\n\n\nYour Monthly Payment Amount Will Be: " << " $" << mpaymentAmount << "\n\n"; //print out result
mortEnt::amort( );


while(loop() == true);
}
}
void mortEnt::amort( )
{
cout << "\n\n\nPress <Enter> key to view your amortization schedule.\n\n";

cin.get();



cin.get() does not work passing from one source to another or at least not how I have wrote it. I basically have outputs coming from the four functions above (I have posted parted of one) to input into this function to be used for an amortization table. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Er, what is this code supposed to do? Not only do i see 2 '}' and only one '{' (which comes after the others), so it doesn't work at all. Also you have an empty loop (while(loop() == true);) which cannot terminate except loop() somehow changes a static state or is a function object changing a functor state upon operator() usage. So again, what is that supposed to be?

cin.get() does not work passing from one source to another

What do you mean by that?

Here is the whole .cpp. What I mean is that for some reason I am getting characters instead of numbers for an output. Help?
