>>fflush(stdin);
fflush is not defined for input streams, only output, so the above may or may not work.

Is this supposed to be a C or a C++ program. Looks like C, but you have tossed in iostream for some unknown reason.

Whay did you write all that unnecessary pointer stuff ?? All it does is obfuscate your program.

Your use of gets_s() is incorrect. It's supposed to have two parameters, not one. The second parameter is the size of the input buffer.

The while loop starting on line 114 is incorrect. Here's how it should be coded: Also check out how the sizeof operator is coded in the line below.

Here is how that whole function should have been coded to simplify all those pointers. I left in all those fflush(stdin) lines because I was too lazy to remove them. I also didn't change all those gets_s() function calls for the same reason.
