Help needed with keyboard input and console output
If you've determined that cin.getline stopped before reaching a newline
character, you can skip the rest of the line with
cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '\n');
By the way, why don't you just use
string line;
geline(cin, line);
and stop worrying about fixed size buffers? Do you expect the user to enter
huge strings of which you only need first 15 characters?
