Text game creator

[youngcoder13]

Hello, I created a text game creator but it does not seem to work. Can somebody explain what is going wrong and any tips?

char startsolution[10];
cin >> startsolution;
if (startsolution == startsolution1)
{
gamemiddle1();
}
if (startsolution == startsolution2)

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])

{

getline(cin,startsolution2);

Looks fine to me, what part isn't working?

[youngcoder13]

It automatically ends program once it displays the middle, it doesnt wait for getline. Do you have any tips or suggestions? This is my third try for this program and I dont want to mess up. Thanks a lot though!

I would bet there is still a '\n' in the stream. It gets thrown into getline without you seeing it, and your program closes.

Before getline, you need to clear that out...

std::cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n' );

and #include <limits>

It worked, just need to clear a bit up.
