I am having this problem on my quiz where if I enter an answer that is not an integer it skips through all the questions and marks those as correct. How can I make it so non-integer answers count as incorrect? Do I need to use 'switch' instead of an 'if/else' statement? I tried that and it went to the default case even if it was the correct answer.

int total;
int Question_Score = 1;
cout << "Press 'Enter' to begin the quiz. \n";
cin.ignore();
cout << string(50, '\n');

cout << endl;
if (q1 == 1) {
cout << "You are correct! \n" << "Now moving on to the next question. \n" << endl;
