I've never used this function before and am not quite sure how it works.
It's basically like a cin statement...correct?

I've got the following code in one of my programs...

cout << "Input the sentence... " << endl;
gets(pointer1);


When I run my program, it never allows the user to input any data. How do I get it to allow me to actually input my sentence?

Thanks in advance for any help,
