Thread: variables

Do you mean functions to display text? or declaring variables that hold strings?

bool
char (signed or unsigned)
short (signed or unsigned)
int (signed or unsigned)
long (signed or unsigned)
float
double
long double

For text you use either an array of char or the string class offered by the standard library in the <string> header.

To display more than one character you use an array of char, thus...

char x; // single character
char y[10]; // array for 9 character string

... a string like this must have a NULL character as it terminator, so the array must always be one character longer than the string you wish to show.

it dn display spaces like of i use
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"Welcome to shady's first c++ program\n";
char name[90];
cout<<"wut's ur name?\n";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Welcome "<<name<<"\n";
}
and type name secondname third name it only displays the name

cin's >> operator stops reading at spaces. If you want to have whitespace in your input you can use getline

Code:

cin.getline(name, sizeof (name));
