C++ CIN cin skips randomly

问题:

I have this program, but cin in randomly skips.. I mean sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas how to fix this?

    int main(){ 


        /** get course name, number of students, and assignment name **/
        string course_name;
        int numb_students;
        string assignment_name;
        Assignment* assignment;

        cout << "Enter the name of the course" << endl;
        cin >> course_name;

        cout << "Enter the number of students" << endl;
        cin >> numb_students;   

        cout << "Enter the name of the assignment" << endl;
        cin >> assignment_name;

        assignment = new Assignment(assignment_name);

        /** iterate asking for student name and score **/
        int i = 0;
        string student_name;
        double student_score = 0.0;
        while( i < numb_students ){

            cout << "Enter the name for student #" << i << endl;
            cin >> student_name;
            cout << "Enter the score for student #" << i << endl;
            cin >> student_score;
            assignment->addScore( Student( student_name, student_score ));
            i++;
        }
}

OK I figured it out. For anyone that would like to know here's the updated code:

int main(){ 

    /** get course name, number of students, and assignment name **/
    string course_name;
    int numb_students;
    string assignment_name;

    cout << "Enter the name of the course" << endl;
    getline(cin, course_name);

    cout << "Enter the number of students" << endl;
    string temp;
    getline(cin, temp);
    numb_students = atoi(temp.c_str());

    cout << "Enter the name of the assignment" << endl;
    getline(cin, assignment_name);

    Assignment assignment(assignment_name);

    /** iterate asking for student name and score **/
    int i = 0;
    string student_name;
    double student_score = 0.0;
    while( i < numb_students ){

        cout << "Enter the name for student #" << i+1 << endl;
        getline(cin, student_name);     
        cout << "Enter the score for student #" << i+1 << endl;
        getline(cin, temp);
        student_score = atof(temp.c_str());
        assignment.addScore( Student( student_name, student_score ));
        i++;
    }

回答1:

I would guess that some of your inputs have spaces in them, which the >> operator treats as the end of a particular input item. The iostreams >> operator is really not designed for interactive input, particularly for strings - you should consider using getline() instead.

Also, you are needlessly using dynamic allocation:

assignment = new Assignment(assignment_name);

would much better be written as:

Assignment assignment(assignment_name);

you should avoid the use of 'new' in your code wherever possible, and instead let the compiler take care of object lifetimes for you.
