I was starting a cash register program. I got to the point of a simple test. I ran into a problem where when running the loop to input my variables, it completely blows through the loop the first time. I looks like this:
Product: Product: ---------now I could input
#include <iostream>
#include <new>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int total_product_number;
int current_product;
string * product_name;
double * product_price;
product_name = new string[current_product];
product_price = new double[current_product];
ofstream sales;
sales.open ("sales.txt", ios::app);
ifstream prices;
prices.open("prices.txt", ios::in);
cout << "How many products would you like to buy? ";
cin >> total_product_number;
for (current_product=0; current_product<total_product_number; current_product++)
{
cout << "Product: ";
// problem
getline(cin, product_name[current_product]); // having problems
// problem
}
system("CLS");
cout << "You have entered: " << '\n';
for (current_product=0; current_product<total_product_number; current_product++)
{
cout << product_name[current_product] << '\n';
sales << product_name[current_product] << '\n';
}
delete[] product_name;
sales.close();
prices.close();
cin.ignore(2);
return 0;
}any help/explanation would be great.
