Thread: I used getline to an array which it's size is determine by using pointer.. can't~ y?

I am a newbie here. Trying to do my assignment.. Here is my code.

Code:

# include <iostream>
# include <ctime>
# include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    
    int num_player;
    string name[100];
        
    cout << endl << "\tWelcome to game centre. I am Joe, your game instructor.\n"
        << "\t\tSnake and Ladder" << endl << endl
        << " Please enter the number of player [maximum 4 players]:" ;
    cin >> num_player;
    cout<< endl;



    cout << " Enter the " << num_player << " player's name: " << endl;
    for ( int j= 1; j <= num_player ; j++ )
    {
        cout << j << ". " ;
        getline(cin,name[j]);
    }
    

    cout << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

The output I get have a problem.
System don't allow me to input for name[1];
I don't understand why~
Is it the getline problem?
can someone fix it for me? T^T
