I am currently working on a personal project. For now, I am creating the part where it gets the users information. I am running into an issue where if the user chooses to correct their name, it steps over it and does not let the user re input the correct name. I have tried clearing before getting to the switch statement and in different locations.
Here is the switch statement:
switch (correction)
{
case 1 : cout << "Name: ";
cin.clear();
getline(cin,name);
checkInfo(age,number,name);
break;
case 2 : cout << "Age: ";
cin >> age;
while (age < 21)
{
cout << "Age is too low, try again." << endl;
cin >> age;
}
checkInfo(age,number,name);
break;
case 3 : cout << "Number: ";
cin >> number;
while(!isNumeric(number) || number.size() < 8)
{
cout << "Phone number either is too short/long or contains characters that are not digits. Try again" << endl;
cout << "Number: ";
cin >> number;
}
checkInfo(age,number,name);
break;
default : cout << "Please select options 1 through 3, nothing else is accepted: ";
cin >> correction;
break;
}
And here is where the user first in puts their information in the beginning:
cout << "Enter your name: ";
getline(cin,name);
cin.clear();
cout << "Enter your age: ";
cin >> age;
cin.clear();
cout << "Enter your phone number: ";
cin >> number;
cout << endl;
while (age >= 21)
{
while (!isNumeric(number) || number.size() < 8)
{
cout << "Phone number either is too short/long or contains characters that are not digits. Try again" << endl;
cout << "Number: ";
cin >> number;
}
checkInfo(age,number,name);
}
}
I have a feeling i'm not clearing it somewhere correctly. Any help or recommendations to make this better is also appreciated. Thank you.
