cout<< and getline() in class definition

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include<cstdlib>


using namespace std;


class ObPass {
private:
  char name[40] = "Javaid Iqbal";
  int n = 33;                     
  char ch = 'A';
public:
          cout << name << n << ch; 
        getline(cin, name);           
        void disp(){
          cout << name << "\n" <<n << "\n" << ch << endl;
};
int main() {
        ObPass object;
          object.disp();
          system("pause");
          return 0;
        }

Why we can't use cout << name << n << ch; and getline(cin, name); in class definition?

Maybe post something which compiles.

You can't just write random lines of code inside the class. It has to be in a function.

void disp3(){                                     
     
          cout << "Enter Name: " << endl; 
      getline(cin,name);
          cout << "Enter Integer: " << endl; 
          cin >> n;
      cout<<"Enter Character: "<<endl;
          cin >> ch;   
          cout << name << n  << ch << endl;
          cout <<"=======================================" << endl;
    }

I'm trying getline() function, in the member function definition, but inside member function it is still giving error. cin is not able to enter multi words string and if getline() too is not working, then how to enter multi words sting inside the member function?

What's the error message?

There are two kinds of getline.

getline (string) - C++ Reference
This one operates exclusively on strings.

istream::getline - C++ Reference
This one works with char pointers.

Error is as following,

In member function 'void ObPass::disp3()':
[ERROR] no matching function for call to 'getline(std::istream&, char[40])'

Well, I've gotten the answer
