Need help with getline()
getline not asking for input?

I am working on the following code:

int main()
{
    int num;
    string str;
    cin>>num;
    int points[num][2];
    for(int i=0;i<num;i++)
    {
        cout<<"\nPoint"<<i<<":";
        getline (cin,str);
        points[i][0]=atoi(&str[0]);
        points[i][1]=atoi(&str[2]);
    }

    for(int i=0;i<num;i++)
    {
        cout<<"\npoint"<<i<<" = "<<points[i][0]<<" "<<points[i][1];
    }

The problem with the above code that I am getting is when I enter the num value as some integer and then press enter, instead of printing…

“Point 0:”

…and waiting for me to enter it prints “Point 0:” and “Point 1:” and then takes the input for Point 1.

For point 0 it automatically takes input as 0 and 0.

Following on from Prince John Wesley’s reply, try

    cin >> num >> endl;

to flush the stream buffer before using it again.
