Simple cin clarification

What are the differences and similarites between

Code:

cin>>charx;

and

Code:

cin.get(charx);

Thanks in advance!

What do you think is the difference? By the way the second snippet is wrong, you should be passing the address of the character.

No, it is correct, assuming that charx is a char, since the corresponding parameter is a reference to char.

Right, don't know what I was thinking.
