Is my class bypassing my do/while loop?

My program for homework is nearly completed. However, my input validation which is inside the class member getData (rational.getData) is not breaking when its supposed too. For example if user inputs 2/0, it should read "DIVISION BY ZERO ERRROR! " and then break, starting the do while loop over for another input. In previous programs (this is my first one utilizing class/struct) this format has worked fine, but i wonder if the way the class is set up, that the compiler will accept any data, despite the boolean foundFlag signaling true. Also, if you look at my "Check" function which puts out the "reduced form", if Standard Input goes (0/2) it should just print out "0", but its output will do the "O" and also "0/2".
I hope this information can be addressed. I personally just started programming at the end of August, with no prior experience, and I was just looking at my previous posts, and I am dumbfounded at the progression I have made. To all people on here who help noobs like myself. It is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
