title: C++ program runs but doesn't let the user enter all the information
body: <p>This is a program that I have been working on. I am just starting out in programming, so I am just trying to write simple programs for now. The ones I have done have worked great till this one. The program will run but it doesn't let the user enter all the information. I am not sure why. If someone could please help me understand. Here is the code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>#include "stdafx.h"
  #include &lt;iostream&gt;
  #include &lt;iomanip&gt;
  using namespace std;
  
  int main ()
  {
      double salary = 0.0;
      double wages = 0.0;
      float employee = 0;
      int hours;
      double total = 0.0;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter an employee name or -1 to quit";
      cin &gt;&gt; employee; 
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter the employee wages: $" &lt;&lt; endl;
      cin &gt;&gt; wages;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter how many hours the employee worked" &lt;&lt; endl;
      cin &gt;&gt; hours;
  
      wages * hours == salary;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "The employee total earnings is $" &lt;&lt; total &lt;&lt; endl;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter an employee name or -1 to quit";
  
      system("pause");
  
      return 0;
  }

  <p>Thanks again for your time and help. </p>
  
  <p>Here are the changes I have made but it's still not running right.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include "stdafx.h"
  #include &lt;iostream&gt;
  #include &lt;iomanip&gt;
  using namespace std;
  
  int main ()
  {
      double salary = 0.0;
      double wages = 0.0;
      float employee = 0;
      int hours;
      double total = 0.0;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter an employee name or -1 to quit";
      cin &gt;&gt; employee; 
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter the employee wages: $" &lt;&lt; endl;
      cin &gt;&gt; wages;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter how many hours the employee worked" &lt;&lt; endl;
      cin &gt;&gt; hours;
  
      salary = wages * hours;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "The employee total earnings is $" &lt;&lt; total &lt;&lt; endl;
  
      cout &lt;&lt; "Please enter an employee name or -1 to quit";
      cin &gt;&gt; employee;
  
      system("pause");
  
      return 0;
  }
