string arrays

hi. in C i can use gets function to create a string array but in c++
how can i do this?
for instance:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

main() {
string *sentence;

cin>>sentence;

cout<<sentence;
}

---

is that true?

not quite.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std; // using new style headers everything is in namespace std

int main()
{
string sentence; //u need object not pointer
cin>>sentence;
cout<<sentence<<endl;
return 0;
}
