cin / scanf

Hi,

Can somebody please help me out?

Consider the following snippet:

cout << "Enter your name: ";
cin >> n;

cout << "Hello " << n << "!" << endl;

If I input 'Joe Bloggs' it will only print out 'Hello Joe!'.

When using cin or scanf to read a string, how do you make it read everything the user types in (including spaces)?

Thanks in advance.

use cin.getline()

using:

cin.getline>> name;

will assign all the strings on the line till it finds a new line character.

cin.get(givenName).get(familyName);
would be usefull if only two names, but u can add more to it.

yeah, the cin >> syntax's fields are delimited by spaces or endlines.
