Help With code to continue if user answers (Y/y)

First off there is a header file that goes with this source code so i'll post that first.

#ifndef STACK_H
#define STACK_H

template<class T, int n>

class STACK
{
private: T a[n];
		 int counter;

public: void MakeStack()
		{
			counter = 0;
		}

		bool FullStack()
		{
			return (counter==n)? true:false;
		}

		bool EmptyStack()
		{
			return (counter==0)? true:false;
		}

		void PushStack(T x)
		{
			a[counter] = x;
			counter++;
		}

		T PopStack()
		{
			counter--;
			return a[counter];
		}
};
#endif


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for the output for the source code is supposed to look as follows:

Enter a sentence: Computer Science
In reverse order: ecneicS retupmoC
CONTINUE(y/n)? y
Enter a sentence: A Toyota
In reverse order: atoyoT A

		sent.MakeStack();
		temp.MakeStack();

		cout<<"Enter a sentence: ";

		while (cin.get(c), c != '\n')
		{
			sent.PushStack(c);
		}

		cout<<"In reverse order: ";

		while (! sent.EmptyStack())
		{
			c = sent.PopStack();
			cout<<c;
		}

		cout<<endl;

		
	return 0;
}

I've tried a do while loop, a while loop, if else. The same problems seems to be happening. After I enter the y to continue it will skip over the sentence input from the user and prints the "In reverse order:" on the same line as "Enter a sentence:" then it goes straight back to the continue question.

Try using a bool variable called Quit, along with a while loop:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
bool Quit = false;

while(!Quit) {
//do stuff here

//user wants to quit
Quit = true;
}

Enter a sentence: Please God let this work!
In reverse order: !krow siht tel doG esaelP
CONTINUE(y/n)? y
Enter a sentence: In reverse order:
CONTINUE(y/n)? y
Enter a sentence: In reverse order:
CONTINUE(y/n)? y
Enter a sentence: In reverse order:
CONTINUE(y/n)? n
Press any key to continue . . .

Should this bit:

while (cin.get(c), c != '\n')

be:

while (cin.get(c) != '\n')


If you make use of the toupper function on the variable ans, then you won't have a double test.

Peter87 (11234)
But that version of get does not return a character. Removing the c should make it work.
while (cin.get() != '\n')
I think Kentlol's way of writing it actually works.
TheIdeasMan (6817)
Ok Peter, I am busted again !!! :D Hope my other advice is OK.
Peter87 (11234)
Yeah, using toupper (or tolower) is a good advice ;)
