Ok, this program should be very simple...but for some reason, after i enter in the variables, it just goes into an infinite loop...like it ignores the cin... (i hate these kinds of programs...but its for school, so please, if you can, help me)

int prompt();

void calcStraight(float initial, float residual,
					int years);

void calcSum(float initial, float residual,
			  int years);

void displayData(char, float,
				  float, int);

Any help is appreciated...thank you very much... Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers?

Replace the '',''''s in the cin with ''>>''

O - MY - GOD ....

i feel about as dumb as anything right now...

thanks...don''t know why i did that...only been programming for 5 years now...

yeah..im a retard...

thanks...peace
