Question

My c++ program compiles but it skips over the getCaption function...Please Help!

#include <iostream>
#include "graph1.h"

using namespace std;

//Prototypes
void getCoords(int&x, int&y);
void getImageName(char imageName[], int max_length);
void getCaption(char caption[], int max_length);
void convertCaption(char caption[]);
void displayResults(int&x,int&y,char imageName[],char caption[]);

int main()
{
   //Variable Declaration
   int x=0;
   int y=0;
   const int max_length=255;
   const int IMAGE_NAMES=50;
   const int MAX_CAPTION=100;
   char imageName[IMAGE_NAMES];
   char caption[MAX_CAPTION];

   displayGraphics();

   //Call functions
   getCoords(x,y);

   getImageName(imageName,max_length);

   getCaption(caption,max_length);

   convertCaption(caption);

   displayResults(x,y,imageName,caption);

   return 0;
}
//Definitions of functions
void getCoords(int&x, int&y)
{
   char buffer[255];

   cout<<"Enter X coordinate for the image: ";
   cin.getline(buffer,sizeof(buffer));

   x=atoi(buffer);

   cout<<"Enter Y coordinate for the image: ";
   cin.getline(buffer,sizeof(buffer));

   y=atoi(buffer);

}
void getImageName(char imageName[], int max_length)
{
   cout<<"Enter image name: ";
   cin.getline(imageName,sizeof(imageName));

}
void getCaption(char caption[], int max_length)
{
   cout<<"Enter caption: ";
   cin.getline(caption,sizeof(caption));

}
void convertCaption(char caption[]) //CONVERT THE CAPTION TO CAPITILIZE THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD
{
   int i;
    int a = strlen(caption);

    //To capitalise first letter of first word of string
    if (isalpha(caption[0]))
   {
     caption[0] = toupper(caption[0]);
   }
   //To capitalise first letter in remaining words and also make other alphabets small case
   for (i=1;i<a;i++)
   {
      if (isalpha(caption[i]) && caption[i-1] == ' ')
      {
        // only first letters of a word.
        caption[i]= toupper(caption[i]);
      }
      else{caption[i]= tolower(caption[i]);
      }
    }
}
void displayResults(int&x,int&y,char imageName[],char caption[])
{
   int i=0;
   int obj_no=0;
  
   obj_no=displayBMP(imageName,x,y);

   gout << setPos(x,430) << caption << endg;
      Sleep(2000);

}

Explanation / Answer

ur problem can be solved by replacing sizeof(imageName) with the constant value 50 .... as given below...

Replace " cin.getline(imageName,sizeof(imageName)); " with cin.getline(imageName,50);

I have tried this, it works.
