here’s the code…

if(op ==a)  
cout \<\< question;  
getline(cin,answer)  
traiteInfo(answer);

i’m tryin to put the informations entered by the user in the variable answer. I use getline because i have to take the whole information (especially it is a sentence). The problem i’m havin is as soon as the question is shown, the program doesn’t wait for the user, it just continue runnin.  
anyone know how solve it
