Thread: strings with spaces

how would i input a string with spaces?

You might want to post your code and your attempt, but here is code I posted in a thread earlier today:

Preferred using standard string:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

int main()
{
    std::string string_a;

    std::cout<<"What is your string: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, string_a);

    std::cout<<" The length of \""<<string_a<<"\" is " << string_a.length()<<std::endl;

    return 0;
}

And using c-style strings:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>

int main()
{
    char string_a&#091;100&#093;;

    std::cout<<"What is your string: ";
    std::cin.getline(string_a, 100);

    std::cout<<" The length of \""<<string_a<<"\" is " << strlen (string_a)<<std::endl;

    return 0;
}
