Listen i'm trying to get it to spell my friends first name and i don't know why but it won't take more than one character as a value for "cin>>"
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { float a; cout<<"Okay alex this is where I begin using C++"; cin.get(); cout<<"Please type your name:"; cin>> a; cin.ignore(); cout<<"Your name:" <<a<< "\n"; cin.get(); }
what sort of data can you store in a?Code:float a;

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Uhh, but you are reading a float, a number, not a string or a name.

You need to learn the basic types of C++.
And learn about strings and what C++ has to offer about that.
Thanks
