Getting user input

I have a problem at this line

cout << "Please input how many hours your pool pump ran this month: ";

cin.get(hours,15);

cin.ignore(80,'\n');

around there the program skips over were you would enter your hours. I can't find solution of the problem if You want to see the whole code it is on my other posts. Thank you. :)

You should do it simpler like this: 

int hours = 0;
cout << "Please input how many hours your pool pump ran this month: "
cin >> hours;

For reasons why your code didn't work as expected, check the cin.get() and cin.ignore() documentation:
