I can't seem to figure out why this falls into a loop after getting non-int input. I've tried cin.flush(), which doesn't seem to exist, cin.clear(), which seems like it should work, even cin.sync() after reading someone else post about it working, but didn't seem to make much sense. Also tried cin.bad().
Thank you very much for any help

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int entry;
int attempts = 1;
int result;
while(attempts <= 5) {
try {
cout << "
Please enter the first number: ";
cin >> entry;
if (cin.fail())
throw "Sorry, I don't think that's a number?";
if (entry < 0)
throw "Sorry, no negative numbers. Try something else? ";
cout << "
Now the second number: ";
cin >> entry;
cin.clear();
cin.get();
}
catch (char* error) {
cout << error;
attempts++;
}
}
if (attempts > 5)
cout << "Sorry, you don't get any more tries.
";
system("pause");
return 0;
}
