[Dev-C++] Error handling

[Dany P. W. <da...@qu...>]

Hi everyone,

I've just reached the part about error handling and I'm afraid it had me
thoroughly confuzzled!

Here's a simple bit of code which, at the very end, requires a float
input. How can I catch mistakes made by entering the wrong type of data,
e.g. character where it should be numeric or visa versa?

====================================================
		cin.ignore (1);
		cout << "\nName of Dish:  ";
		getline (cin,sName);
		cout << "Description:  ";	 
		getline (cin,sDescription);
		cout << "Price?  ";
		cin >> fPrice;
====================================================

		
Any help would be immensely appreciated. I seem to learn better by
simple examples.

Cheers,
D.
