C++ problem, leading zero

[FunkyChicken]

In my C++ program i am writing the time is taken in.

The integers hrs and mins are reading the values and the whole program works except for this little problem

When entering a time such as 9 (for hrs) i cant use a leading zero 0 9 as an error occurs - what causes it?

void getParkTime(int& hrs, int& mins)
{
	int h,m;
	h = 0;
	m = -1;
	gotoxy(2,4);
	clreol();
	cout<<"Arrival time ";
	while ((h< 7) || (h > 20))
  	{
      gotoxy(2,5);
      clreol(); // inserted as noted above 3.12.04
      cout<<"hrs:";
      gotoxy(7,5);
      clreol(); // inserted as noted above 3.12.04
      cin>>h;
   }
	while ((m < 0) || (m> 59))
	{
   	gotoxy(2,6);
      clreol(); // inserted as noted above 3.12.04
      cout<<"mins:";
      gotoxy(8,6);
      clreol(); // inserted as noted above 3.12.04
      cin>>m;
   }
      hrs = h;
      mins = m;
}

cheers for any help i recieve guys

A leading zero usually indicates an octal number, but 9 is not a valid octal digit. Perhaps you could could do something along the lines of:

cin >> setiosflags(ios::dec) >> h;

Note that I have not tested or verified any of the above.

In some MS Windows Env, leading zeros for input can be interprited as octal values. What kind of error do you find?

Doh!
This time Voltage Spike beat me to it. :-)

my code is really crap, so im a liitle imbarrassed to post it.

Im new to programming so we have all got to start some where.

Here is the full prog

it is basically a carpark assignment that im doing for my tutorer. It only make believe but i want it to be as good as i can get it. if you run it, try and enter 09 for the hours

cheers for your time once again
