while loop "breaking" because of cin.get?

shooninjo (44)
I have a cin.get() in a while loop, but when it should pause the loop and wait for user input it just makes the loop go boom and it begins to run uncontrolled like if there was no pause at all. Whats wrong? The cin.get is in the beginning.

your functions "decrypt" and "encrypt" must return value.
