Re: Problem with cin

[shubhendu <97co266@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi friend !

what i am writing is not a solution but discussion on y'r problem 

yesterday i worked with your problem and  found some things 
like 
     ones we give irrelevant value to cin  ( wrong data type )
     its value goes to (nil) and 
     it does not let execute any cin coming 
     after thin cin insted of  cin.clear() 
     making it back to 0xffffff...

what could be the reason ? 

enlighten me ...
