Re: Using strings in C++

[Nick Hill <nikhilwiz@yahoo.com>]

This is an inherent problem with Borland C++ 3.1. I
dunno if it exists with others but the cin.get and
cin.getline use buffered I/O and "forget" to empty the
buffers once they're done. so the same input is used
for both u're cin's. I suggest u use plain good ol'
scanf or something else. there seems to be NO WAY to
get around this problem, at least as far as i could
see. :(
