need help trying to get the menu to stay up so the user can hit 1 to display the next menu to choose a month, i heard of using a switch statement or function but how would i do that.


CODE
int x=1;
    int y=1;
    int mainmenu;
    int name;
    int choice;

    






    
    while(x<=6)
    {

    cout<< space << "<>";

    x=x+1;
    }
    cout<<"\nplease enter your name";
    cin>>name;

    {
    cout << "\n\n\n\n     ######################### MENU #################";
    cout<<"\n1) display information";
    cout<<"\n2)";
    cin >> mainmenu;
    }
    {
    //system("cls");
    cout<<"choose month\n 1)\n 2)\n 3)\n 4)\n 5\n 6)\n 7)\n 8)\n 9)\n 10\n 11)\n 12)\n"<<endl;
    cin>>choice;
    choice=3;
    cout<<getbirthstone(march);
    }

Can you specify what you mean by having the menu stay up? Is it disappearing? Do you need it displayed multiple times?

This is happening because you are declaring all your variable types as integer...once a name is entered, there is additional information in the buffer, which is used by the next cin statement. Try nsomething like the following:
CODE

string name;
cout<<"\nplease enter your name";
    cin>>name;
    cout << "\n\n\n\n     ######################### MENU #################";
    cin.ignore(100,'\n');
    cout<<"\n1) display information";
    cout<<"\n2)";
    cin >> mainmenu;
    //system("cls");
    cout<<"choose month\n 1)\n 2)\n 3)\n 4)\n 5\n 6)\n 7)\n 8)\n 9)\n 10\n 11)\n 12)\n"<<endl;
    cin>>choice;
    choice=3;
    cout<<getbirthstone(march);
