cin is getting values separated

Question

i am working on XO game with c++ but i have a problem

cout<<"please enter the field number For O"<<endl;
cin.get(a);

if (a=='1')
    arr[0][0] = 'O';
else if (a=='2')
    arr[0][1] = 'O';
else if (a=='3')
    arr[0][2] = 'O';
else if (a=='4')
    arr[0][3] = 'O';
else if (a=='5')
    arr[0][4] = 'O';
else if (a=='6')
    arr[1][0] = 'O';

the problem here is when i try to enter a number bigger then 9, for example 15, the program reads it 1 and 5 so it applies two conditions at once, i tried to use get

cin.get(a);

but it gave me the same result

`int someInt; std::cin >> someInt;` ([`get`, or at least the version you are using, returns a single character](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_istream/get)) — BoBTFish, May 02 '17 at 17:55
Sounds like you could use a [good C++ book](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list) — NathanOliver, May 02 '17 at 17:55

When you just use "cin" it takes one character especially in the case of an integer. If you want it to take your whole input then consider using "getline(cin,a)" i think that will fix your problem.
