How to use cin>> again after it fails or how to exit
while(cin>>some_string>>some_int)
legitimately so that cin>> can be used again?
Exercise goes something like this : Fill 2 vectors (1 string and 1 int) with name and age, terminate input by the line "no more", ask for a name for which the program need to output corresponding age ( or "name not found"). My problem is with cin>> : when i enter "no more" any attept of using cin>> again is fail.
code:
{
vector<string>name_s;
vector<int>age_s;
int age = 0,checker=0;
string name;
while( cin>>name>>age) //input of name and age
{
name_s.push_back(name); //filling vectors
age_s.push_back(age);
}
string name_check;
cout<<"\nEnter a name you want to check : ";
cin>>name_check;
for(int i =0;i<name_s.size();++i)
{
if(name==name_s[i])
{
cout<<"\n"<<name_check<<", "<<age_s[i]<<"\n";
++checker;
}
}
if(checker<1)
cout<<"\nName not found.\n";
system("PAUSE");
}
"terminate input by the line "no more"
"
Yould could read the input by lines, not by words:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
...
std::string line;
while (std::getline(std::cin, line) && line != "no more") {
if (line.empty()) ; // TODO: line might be empty
std::istringstream is(line);
std::string name;
int age;
if (is >> name && is >> age) { /* TODO: store new data */ }
}
If you want to take care of situation when there are additional characters after this no more
then you might use line.substr(0,7) != "no more"
and if you just want to find out if no more
is within the line, not necessarily at the beginning, you can do: line.find("no more") != std::string::npos
