Hello, here is my code, I am doing a morse code translator. The probloem is that I am trying to get a line from the user but the program runs without inputting the user line.

this part is what is not working, because the user should insert the line that he wants to translate to morse code.

I think because you're using cin>> and getline(), use cin.ignore() ._. I don't really understand why
Maybe some else can explain it

Here is what my console display:

Encode = 0
 
Enter what do you wanto to translate to morse code:
0

Press any key to continue . . .






I use getline(cin, UsrEng) because it means taht will take the complete line from the input that the user will insert

All I know is don't mix cin>> and getline(), I think that getline is taking '\n' character that left in buffer from cin
I'm usng cin.ignore(some_number_here,'\n') before getline to fix it
