我需要防止缓冲区中留下的垃圾在输入开关盒菜单的值时被用于由用户输入的菜单调用的函数中。
菜单代码
void menu()
{
bool done = false;
string input;
while(!done)
{
cout << "Welcome to the DVD database." << endl;
cout << "1. Add A DVD" << endl;
cout << "2. Delete a DVD." << endl;
cout << "3. Edit a DVD." << endl;
cout << "4. List By Category." << endl;
cout << "5. Retrieve by a DVD by Title." << endl;
cout << "6. Display collection by year" << endl;
cout << "7. Display collection by title" << endl;
cout << "-999. Exit program" << endl;
cout << "Please choose an option by entering the corresponding number" << endl;
cin >> input;
int value = atoi(input.c_str());
switch(value)
{
case 1:addDVD(); break;
case 2:deleteDVD(); break;
// case 3:editDVD(); break;
case 4:listByCategory();break;
case 6:displayByYear();break;
case 7:displayByTitle();break;
case -999: writeToFile(); exit(0); break;
default : cout <<"Invalid entry"<< endl; break;
}
}
}
void retrieveByTitle()
{
string search;
int size = database.size();
int index = 0;
bool found = false;
cin.ignore();
cout << "Please enter the title of the DVD you would like to retrieve: " << endl;
getline(cin,search);
cout << search;
while(!found && index<size)
{
if(database.at(index)->getTitle().compare(search)==0)
{
cout << database.at(index)->toString();
break;
}
}
cout << endl;
}
如果在菜单中输入 5,程序将跳过方法中的用户输入
