Thread: Am I on drugs ??

as simple as this

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std ;


int main () 
{
  string str;
  cout << "Please enter full name: ";
  getline (cin,str);
  cout << "Thank you, " << str << ".\n";
  return 0;
}

after entering the following : "Goerge Bush" I hit ENTER key...which should then display

Code:

Thank you, George Bush

right ??Well it doesnt..what happens is following:

after entering George Bush and hitting the "ENTER" key the cursor just jumps to the next line WHERE I AM ABLE TO ENTER ANOTHER FULL NAME.Upon hitting ENTER the second time the name "George Bush" is displayed (however not the second name ;not that i want to enter a second person)

How is it that i get to input anything after hitting ENTER the first time...this never happened before
