Question
Why is my program ignoring my input request after the first iteration?
Answers
Because the numerical extractor leaves non-digits behind in the input buffer.

If your code looks like this:

char name[1000];
int age;

for (;;) {
std::cout << "Name: ";
std::cin >> name;
std::cout << "Age: ";
std::cin >> age;
}

What you really want is:

for (;;) {
std::cout << "Name: ";
std::cin >> name;
std::cout << "Age: ";
std::cin >> age;
std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits::max(), '
');
}

Of course you might want to change the for (;;) statement to while (std::cin), but don't confuse that with skipping the non-numeric characters at the end of the loop via the line: std::cin.ignore(...);.   Your Comment
