OJ Board

what exactly am i supposed to pass to cin.ignore if i need to use cin.getline after using a cin>> previously?
one methos i read about uses limits...does OJ support including limits?

Hmmm... I have not used cin.ignore before. May I suggest an alternative? How about using two getlines? You can also use getline this way:

getline(cin,str);

where str is a C++ string.

One to read in the newline after the cin >> and the second one to read in the line you want.

you can use cin.get(source, len) to get the string and then use
cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '/n')

that way itll clear out the buffer left up to the amount of INT_MAX or till it finds a null terminator.
