C++ CIN cin skips randomly

Question

I have this program, but cin in randomly skips.. I mean sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn\'t. Any ideas how to fix this?

    int main(){ 


        /** g         


        

Answer 1

I would guess that some of your inputs have spaces in them, which the >> operator treats as the end of a particular input item. The iostreams >> operator is really not designed for interactive input, particularly for strings - you should consider using getline() instead.

Also, you are needlessly using dynamic allocation:

assignment = new Assignment(assignment_name);

would much better be written as:

Assignment assignment(assignment_name);

you should avoid the use of 'new' in your code wherever possible, and instead let the compiler take care of object lifetimes for you.
