I'm working on this program where I am supposed to use classes to store information like name, education and phonenumber for students and I'm almost there.

When im trying to set a string to the variable utbildning the whole thing starts printing out "Education" in what seems like an eternity.

Is there some problems between getline and objects im missing?

This is inside a switchcase in my main.

case 5:
 std::cout << "Education: ";
 getline(std::cin, utbildning);
 stud1.setEducation(utbildning);
break;

And this is inside my .h file:

void setEducation(std::string education);
std::string Student::getEducation();

And this inside my definition.c file:

void Student::setEducation(std::string education)
{
    this->education = education;
}
std::string Student::getEducation()
{
   return this->education;
}

If needed I could post the whole code, but I'd figure that be alot of unnecessary info.

Thanks in advance.

We don't need the whole code. We need [mcve], since issue is not in the code, that you posted. – Algirdas Preidžius Nov 09 '16 at 17:41
The problem you're describing is not in the code you showed us. So yeah, more code would be nice. – Hatted Rooster Nov 09 '16 at 17:41
Also, " *definition.c* " I hope you meant .cpp? – Hatted Rooster Nov 09 '16 at 17:42
yes! .cpp Just moved from c to c++ – niyz Nov 09 '16 at 17:43
If you are reading a menu selection first, it could be this one [Why does std::getline skip input after a formatted extraction?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21567291/why-does-stdgetline-skip-input-after-a-formatted-extraction) – Bo Persson Nov 09 '16 at 17:47
Yes, that was indeed the problem! Thanks – niyz Nov 09 '16 at 17:49
before getline() put cin.ignore() – Omid CompSCI Nov 09 '16 at 19:30
