I am working inside a function and am already passing back a value. Inside the function I am using cin to get an int from the user. If they want to quit they type q. The input buffer fails when this happens. I could use an if statement and then clear the buffer but I cant pass back another value. For example
How could I get around this problem?
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
int menu( bool hidemenu,int *parr) { int choice; using namespace std; cout << "****MENU****" <<endl<<endl; cout << "(1) Set Array Size" << endl; if(parr != 0) cout << "(2) Set Array Values" << endl; if(hidemenu==false) { cout << "(3) Add Array Values" << endl; cout << "(4) Average Values in Array" << endl; cout << "(5) Find Highest Value in Array" << endl; cout << "(6) Find Lowest Value in Array" << endl; cout << "(7) Print the Array" << endl; cout << "(9) Delete the Array" << endl; cout << "(q) Quit" << endl; } cin >> choice; if(!cin) {clear,ignor,badInput=True,blah blah.....} //doesnt work b/c cant pass back badinput value return choice;

What is the error that you are getting? Or whats going wrong, how do you know it fails?
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

The
That may solve your problem.
int choice is an int and as q is a char it sends the ascii value you should either make all your choices chars or make q a int like 0.That may solve your problem.
