How to Ask A Programming Question

Anyone can ask a question in our programming channels. Following the guide Writing The Perfect Question is recommended.

What To Post

State your problem clearly and provide all necessary details:
• the relevant portion of your code, or all of it
• the expected output
• the actual output (or the full error)
🏆 Gold Standard: Minimal Reproducible Example

Where To Post

Provide the relevant code in the message, and format it nicely with a code block*. If it's too much for one message, you can upload it:
• Compiler Explorer for most C/C++ snippets
• OnlineGDB for interaction, debugging
⛔ Do not post screenshots, let alone photos of your screen!

* Use /code if you don't know how to format code blocks

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    //set vars
    string colour, plNoun, noun, celeb, food;
    int num1;

    //get user input
    cout << "Enter a colour: ";
    getline(cin, colour);
    cout << "Enter a plural noun: ";
    getline(cin, plNoun);
    cout << "Enter a number: ";
    cin >> num1;
    cout << "Enter a noun: ";
    getline(cin, noun);
    cout << "Enter a celebrity: ";
    getline(cin, celeb);
    cout << "Enter a food: ";
    getline(cin, food);

    //output thingy
    cout << "I woke up on my " << noun << " today." << endl;
    cout << "I had " << plNoun << " all over my floor." << endl;
    cout << "Luckily, " << celeb << " gave me a " << colour << " " << food << " so it was okay!";
    cout << num1;

    return 0;
}

This is the code i used and when i added the screenshot of the console happenedcout << "Enter a number: "; cin >> num1;

sorry if that isnt enough information but i dont really know what the problem is

[ruby umbra]

it looks reasonable at first, I think the problem may be related to whether newlines are left remaining in the stream or not

I'm not really sure, I don't generally use this kind of approach for input

try making everything use getline and then use std::from_chars to convert from string to number

[twin pike]

how would i use std::from_chars in the code? sorry if this is an incompetent question but i started c++ just over 2 hours ago

[twin pike]

ok

[ruby umbra]

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/from_chars has examples

;compile

#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
#include <charconv>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    constexpr string_view numStr = "1234";

    long num1 = 0;

    from_chars(numStr.data(), numStr.data() + numStr.size(), num1);

    cout << "num1: " << num1 << endl;
}

Program Output

num1: 1234
