How do I fix this

[Timothy Palmer]

when testing for run time errors i came upon the fact that the input was weird i think it has something to do with getline

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	string priorities[10]={"Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out","Fill Out"};
	int menu=0;
	while (menu!='x')
	{
		system("cls");
	cout << "                          To fill out write the number.                         " << endl;
	cout << "Priorities" << endl;
	cout << "================================================================================" << endl;
	cout << "1 ) " << priorities[0] << endl;
	cout << "2 ) " << priorities[1] << endl;
	cout << "3 ) " << priorities[2] << endl;
	cout << "4 ) " << priorities[3] << endl;
	cout << "5 ) " << priorities[4] << endl;
	cout << "6 ) " << priorities[5] << endl;
	cout << "7 ) " << priorities[6] << endl;
	cout << "8 ) " << priorities[7] << endl;
	cout << "9 ) " << priorities[8] << endl;
	cout << "10) " << priorities[9] << endl;
	getline(cin,priorities[0]);
	getline(cin,priorities[1]);
	getline(cin,priorities[2]);
	getline(cin,priorities[3]);
	getline(cin,priorities[4]);
	getline(cin,priorities[5]);
	getline(cin,priorities[6]);
	getline(cin,priorities[7]);
	getline(cin,priorities[8]);
	getline(cin,priorities[9]);
	cin >> menu;
	switch (menu)
	{
	case 1:
		cin >> priorities[0];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 2:
		cin >> priorities[1];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 3:
		cin >> priorities[2];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 4:
		cin >> priorities[3];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 5:
		cin >> priorities[4];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 6:
		cin >> priorities[5];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 7:
		cin >> priorities[6];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 8:
		cin >> priorities[7];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 9:
		cin >> priorities[8];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	case 10:
		cin >> priorities[9];
		cin.ignore();
		cin.clear();
		break;
	}
	}
	return 2182;
}

what do you even want it to do? It worked fine for me

[Timothy Palmer]

for me it writes the list out then you have to press enter 10 times before you can write a number let me try again tho i tried again it wrote list then i wrote input with a space and then nothing happened???

[Timothy Palmer]

when i took all the getlines out it worked how i wanted it to except it doesnt accept more than one word??????????????????????????????

This maybe what you are looking for.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	string priorities[10];
	fill(priorities,priorities+10,"Fill Out");
	int menu=0;
	while (menu!='x')
	{
		system("cls");
	cout << "                          To fill out write the number.                         " << endl;
	cout << "Priorities" << endl;
	cout << "================================================================================" << endl;
for(int i = 0 ; i < 10;i++)
{
	cout << (i+1)<<" ) " << priorities[i] << endl;
}
	cout<<"Enter  Corresponding Number To Chart Here:  :";
	cin >> menu;
	cin.ignore();
	

	switch (menu)
	{
	case 1:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[0]);
		break;
	case 2:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[1]);
		break;
	case 3:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[2]);
		break;
	case 4:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[3]);
		break;
	case 5:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[4]);
		break;
	case 6:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[5]);
		break;
	case 7:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[6]);
		break;
	case 8:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[7]);
		break;
	case 9:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[8]);
		break;
	case 10:
		cout<<"Type in your string :";
		getline(cin,priorities[9]);
		break;
	default : 
		cout<<"Not Valid Choice"<<endl;
		break;
	}
	}
	return 0;
