Well, in real code I would check the error state of cin and deal with legitimate problems long before trying to do cin.ignore(). But real code is harder to read and has lots of extras that hide the point I'm trying to make.

Not to be nitpicky, but cin is the C++ version of C's stdin. The overloaded >> operator is the C++ version of scanf.

It's hard to be humble when you're as gifted as I am at pretending to be an expert.
