Input problem

Hi guys~

I require an input that will accept a measurement in feet and pounds, i.e. 5'6

So I have this so far:

Code:

    cout << "Enter your height: " ;
    float x, y ;
    cin >> x >> y;

However, my programme is unable to read the apostrophe.
Any hints?

You read two float numbers. You should read a float, a character (the apostrophe) and a float number. Try that. I guess it reads only the 5 eh?

EDIT: Some code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
	float x, y;
	char c;
	cin >> x >> c >> y;
	cout << x << " " << y;
}

SWEET.
Thanks mate~
