How do ensure that a variable input via cin is of the same type to which the variable is assigned?

Also need to use cin.clear(); to prevent cin from returning an error.

Another question, if one is using C and scanf, how does one clear the input buffer when encountering a similar problem?

I think that would be fflush(stdin).
