Look at line 13

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  stop = num;

Now ask yourself, "self, whats stop?"
"a character."
"self, whats num?"
"an integer."

Whats probably going down is that the the char (stop) is being assigned an integer, which in effect is tossing your loop off.

Are you only interested in positive integers? Because then you could ask for a negative value to terminate that list of integers.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. while(num != -1)
