Why do i need to use cin.get twice?

[Biorapture99]

Hey guys, i was writing a very simple program and came a across an problem. In order to stop my program from closing i had to use cin.get () twice? Is this normal ? here is my code -

int main()
{
int a;
int b;
int sum;


cout << "To start this addition calculator, please enter a number!" << endl << endl;

cin >> a;

cout << "Now enter another number !" << endl << endl;

cin >> b;

sum = a + b;

cout << "The sum of those two numbers is " << sum << endl << endl;

cout << "This program was created by Omar Ismail" << endl <<endl;

cout << "Press enter to continue..." ;



cin.get ();
cin.get ();

return 0;
}












Oh and also, don't post alternatives to cin.get. Thanks :)

I tried you program and it seems you are right.

Then, I did:

char c;
cin.get (c);

cout << (int)c <<  endl;

And this writes 10 which it's a newline.

Likely, the last number you wrote, you wrote it and then press enter. So, it seems that you are getting that newline. So, for this you need cin twice.
