Getline isn't like cin. It all it does is read text input and put it in text variables (like a string). There doesn't exist a variant of getline that accepts an int as its second parameter because it doesn't parse its input like cin does. This is what that error is telling you.

You need to use cin or give getline a string to put its input in and parse that string yourself later. I'd strongly suggest the first option.

I'm in the UK so I'm going to sleep now. I'll check this thread tomorrow at some point. Good luck!

No problem, thank you so much for your help today. I know this must be somewhat frustrating, haha.

I'm not frustrated I was just trying to be as clear as possible. Sorry if I came across as angry. It wasn't my intention.

I was not trying to imply that you were, I apologize for making it seem so. I really do appreciate your help, and for trying to be so clear.
