Help me plz..!! Why this problem is occuring?? :(

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string name;
    string name2;

    cout << "Enter Name " ;
  //getline (cin, name);
    cin >> name;
    cin.ignore();
    getline (cin, name2);
    cout << "name 1 :" << name << "\n name 2: " << name2 ;

    return 0;
}

---

cin >> name;

getline (cin, name2);

So be consistent, and use getline() for both inputs.

i knw that.. but why my this program is not working when every thing is correct?? :\

If your program isn't working, then how can you say it is correct?

cin >> var stops at white-space
cin.getline() stops at newline

So if you type in "hello world", you'll end up with "hello" in the first case (and "world" ends up in another variable), or you have "hello world" in the second case.
