Thread: getline command

I'm a newbe to c++ and have been researching the getline command
in Xcode I have gotten to this stage



std::string handle, title;


std::cout << "Enter your name: " << std::endl;
std::getline (std::cin , handle ) ;

std::cout << "Enter your favourite movie: " << std::endl;
std::getline ( std::cin , title) ;

std::cout << handle << "'s favourite movie is " << title << std::endl;

but the


std::cout << "Enter your name: " << std::endl;
std::getline (std::cin , handle ) ;

doesn't give a prompt for user input but


std::cout << "Enter your favourite movie: " << std::endl;
std::getline ( std::cin , title) ;

does. Can anyone tell me why

Thankyou all for your input but I have solved my problem using this format
and example I found in a book hope this helps someone else out::

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>


usingnamespacestd;


int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
// insert code here...

string greatstring ("Hello std::string ! ");
    cout << greatstring << endl;

cout << " Enter a line of text " << endl;
    string firstLine;
    getline (cin, firstLine);

cout << " Enter another " << endl;
    string secoundLine;
    getline (cin, secoundLine);

cout << " Result of concatenation: " << endl;
    string concatString = firstLine + " " +secoundLine;
    cout << concatString << endl;

cout << " Copy of concatenated string: " << endl;
    string aCopy;
    aCopy = concatString;
    cout << aCopy << endl;

    cout << " Length of concat string: " << concatString. length() << endl;



return0;
}

the code in the first post is working! without any problems .
there are some typo errors in the second code .
like

Code:

usingnamespacestd;

should be

Code:

using namespace std;

and

Code:

return0;

should be

Code:

return 0;

happy coding .
