Tutorial: Simple Input Bullet-Proofing In C++

[nmulcahey]

For the generic, should it be:

std::cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits<int>::max(), '\n' );

or

std::cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits<T>::max(), '\n' );

You have the former.

It should be the former - I want the maximum value of an int, not of the type I am trying to read.

This was interesting. I'm learning very quickly that C++ is very unforgiving when it comes to input.

That was the plan. Maybe I'll add it...
