Hello!
I'm writing a program right now that takes your name and some others names and puts them in a story that makes fun of you...
anyway,
When I enter a name, it only takes the first letter of it, how can I make it take the whole name ?Code:....... char name; ........ cout << "Please enter your first name:" << endl; cin >> name; ......... ........ ........
thanks!
I have a code which stops life!
char is only a 1-character data type.
You can use std::string from <string> (recommended):
std::string name;
cin >> name;
or you can use character arrays:
char name[32];
cin.get(name, 32); // Prevents buffer overflow.
cin.sync();
The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.
ok!
Thanks man, you've been helpful!

>>cin.get(name, 32); // Prevents buffer overflow.
>>cin.sync();
A word on sync with istream.
I never get it to work correct with the cygwin port of gcc,so it seems not to be portable.
And this thread on comp.lang.c++ agrees
The sole purpose of 'sync()' is to bring the
internal and the external view of a stream into synchronization. Typically
this means to flush an output buffer. Often, this does not touch an input
buffer at all although a stream buffer might bring the internal input
buffer into synchronization with the external view if this has changed,
eg. due to another program modifying a file.
