C++ cin.getline help

This is part of my code and i'm stuck on the cin part i dont exactly remember how it went for arrays... i need to cin a name that contains whitespace but when i do that the program starts looping forever...or skips an entry. Now i remember its something like cin.getline() but i can't figure it out any help would be greatly appreciated thx!

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

const int MAX = 40;


void bubbleID(int id[], int max);
void bubbleName(string name[], int max);
void dsply();


int main()
{
        int id[40];
        string name[40];
    char choice;
    bool running = true;
    int count = 0;
   
    while(running)
        {
                dsply();
        cin >> choice;
       
        switch(choice)
        {
            case 'A':
            case 'a':
                cout <<"\n"<< count + 1 << ":\n\nEnter Student's CWID: ";
                cin>>id[count];
                cout << "\nEnter Student's Name: ";
                cin>>name[count];
                break;

do not use >> for entering strings with spaces - this operator stops on white space
use getline for this purpose

Code:

---

getline(cin,name[count++]);

---

so like that right? but now that i put it in after i enter the number it just ends the program..

your >> operator leaves '\n' in the input stream

that is read by getline

use cin.ignore between using of operator >> and getline
