lame class problem

Ok i'm throwing together a quick demonstration of using string w/ classes for a friend, and i know i'm missing something.

The parameter isn't modifying the variable in main. I'm missing soemthing simple, i'm tired so cut me a little slack :P

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class	get_input
{
	public:	get_input() {}
		void get_name(string name);

};


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	get_input	giobject;
                
	string user_name;  //not changing

	giobject.get_name(user_name);  //probs here

	cout << user_name << endl;

	return 0;
}


void get_input::get_name(string name)
{
	cout << "Enter your name: ";
	cin >> name;

}

get_name(string& name)

Also, you're not really using the concept classes and objects properly in that example. Right now, you're just using the class and a function container, which doesn't really make much sense. You most-likely want to encapsulate a string in that class and rather than making the membr function take an explicit parameter, using the string data member instead.

o so duh to me....thnx man, i felt ashamed for having to even post lol.
