problem with loop

closed account (98qGz8AR)
hi everyone,

i'm writing a demo program to teach myself how to use arrays of classes, but i'm having problems moving onto the next element of the array. the problem occurs after the function "again" is called, if i select 'y' to enter more information, it outputs all the prompts very quickly without a chance to input, then quits.

here's the code:
