C++单链表引出的cin问题

用C++实现一个单链表，在第123行输入想删除的结点时出现问题，cin语句直接被跳过。经检查发现，上一次使用cin时（creat函数中），最后一个输入字符为结束符。下次再使用cin时因为遇到结束符，直接无视输入，所以直接跳过了。解决方法：在下一次需要cin时先调用cin.clear进行输入重置（第121行）。

struct node
{
	string s;
	node* next;
};


node* creat()
{
	string st;
	node *head, *now;
	head = new node;
	now = head;
	
	while(cin >> st)
	{
		now->s = st;
		now->next = new node;
		now = now->next;
	}
	now->next = NULL;


	return head;
}


int getlen(node* n)
{
	int length=0;
	if(n == NULL)
		return 0;
	else
	{
		while(n->next)
		{
			length++;
			n = n->next;
		}
		return length;
	}
}


void printlist(node* n)
{
	if(n == NULL)
		cout << "list is empty !" << endl;
	else
	{
		while(n->next)
		{
			cout << n->s << " ";
			n = n->next;

		cout << n->s << endl;
	}
}
