cout problems...

I love you.

I know that... What I'm asking, is

It's supposed to ask for a random word, then a number

what it does is say "say a random word say a number" and then when I push anything it continues on to the next question...

What can I put after cout to get it to STOP joining lines... display 1 line wait for input continue

This is where it starts messing up... It uses the same code for here as everywhere else but this is where it messes up... Try running the entire code and you'll see what I mean...

yeah somewhat, I copied, pasted and re-wrote it... After I learned what it all meant

But just look through the code, make sure there isn't anything that'll scare ya then run it... but yeah, right after I enter age, it skips the a bunch...

Yeah, I learnt that and I'm practicing with it here. But as for my problem? it skips... is there a solution to that?

you'd be using cin >> wouldn't you? I don't wanna use that and plus, it was doing that when I had it as cin anyways... it only happens at certain parts of the code, which annoys me because the code is exactly the same at other parts that it doesn't skip at.
