Correct me if I'm wrong, shouldn't this code pause for user input at cin.getline()? Seems like it's skipping for me.
Code:void GetName(){ char Name[50]; cout<<"Please Enter your name: "; cin.getline(Name,50); cout<<Name<<", is this correct?\n"; }
String problem

Yes, but perhaps there is a newline left in the input buffer, so the cin.getline consumes that line.

If this is true, how would I remedy this?
try and flush it.
Code:flush(cout);
"flush(cout)" flushes the output buffer!
The only way to "flush" standard input is:
Code:cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max(), '\n');
Devoted my life to programming...
Thanks, got it working now!
>> char Name[50];
>> cout<<"Please Enter your name: ";
>> cin.getline(Name,50);
Should be
std::string Name;
std::cout << "Please Enter your name: ";
std::getline(Name, std::cin);
