Thread: Cant use as function...?

Its the newest book ive found :P .

And i cant get getline to work

i type cin.getline(string)
and getline( cin, string)
and it says no matching functions for call to some gibberish83424ujrfh candidates are more giberish getline std giberuish

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string theWord = ""; // do not need an array at all

  cout << "Enter a word to print 1 character at a time: ";
  cin.getline (theWord);


for ( int i = 0; i < theWord.size(); i++ ) {
        cout << theWord[ i ] << "";
        Sleep(40);
    }
return 0;
}

Nvm looked it up and copy pasted code and it worked but my code looked the same dont no why it didnt work :P

wats a way to get input were it doesnt skip blank spaces cause the program ends the for loop if theirs a blank space

Try using std::getline() to read strings with spaces. cin >> has a draw back of stopping reading input then a space is reached.

EDIT:

And its

Code:

std::getline( std::cin, whateverthewordis );

toupper() and islower()

using islower() i get a error

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string theWord = ""; // do not need an array at all

  cout << "Hello their input some words: ";
  getline (cin,theWord=islower());
  
for ( int i = 0; i < theWord.size(); i++ ) {
        cout << theWord[ i ] << "";
        Sleep(100);
    }
return 0;
}

to few arguments to function


edit: Same with upper same error

Whatever do you think that will do, or will work?
Explain it to us, in words, on how you expect it to work.

Indeed? And how would that work with this syntax?
This is not even valid C++ syntax, so I fail to see how you can expect it to do such a thing.

Code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

int main()
{
	std::string s;
	std::cout << "Hello there! Input some words: ";
	std::getline(std::cin, s);
	std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), &std::tolower);
	std::cout << "You entered: " << s << std::endl;
}

Hello there! Input some words: Hello There World!
You entered: hello there world!

Code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

int main()
{
	std::string s;
	std::cout << "Hello there! Input some words: ";
	std::getline(std::cin, s);
	std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), &std::toupper);
	std::cout << "You entered: " << s << std::endl;
}

Hello there! Input some words: Hello There World!
You entered: HELLO THERE WORLD!

I just looked up begin and end im wondering the purpose of adding a second begin?
