So here in my code:

#include <iostream>    
using namespace std;

int main ()
{    
    int choice;    
    cout<<"Make a choice\n";    
    cin>>choice;    
    cin.ignore();    
    while ( choice != 5 ) {    
        cout<<"Make a different choice!\n";    
        cin>>choice;    
        cin.ignore();    
    }
    cout<<"You weren't supposed to enter 5!";        
}

This works fine for entering in numbers, but whever I enter a string (i.e. a), the program simply writes 

"Make a different choice!\n"

and infinite number of times! How do I handle a possible string input for choice?
