Using cin function

The following code doesn't give the second prompt to "enter message". How do I fix it?

cout << "Enter shifts:" << endl;
cin >> shifts;
cout << "Enter message:" << endl;
getline(cin, msg);

when you enter shifts there is a newline which read by geline funtion. So You need to ignore that newline.

write : 

cout << "Enter shifts:" << endl;
cin >> shifts;
getchar();
cout << "Enter message:" << endl;
getline(cin, msg);

try this one

cout << "Enter shifts:" << endl;
cin >> shifts;
cout << "Enter message:" << endl;
cin.ignore();
getline(cin, msg);

use cin.ignore(); before using getline anywhere.
