Infinite Output

[aish96]

i have declared the variable str and defined it as follows..

char str;
std::cout<<"\n Enter name: ";
    std::cin>>str;

whenever i enter something like ish kri, i.e., any name with a space in it, it gives me an infinite loop. i tried declaring the variable as a string too, but that didn't help either. PLEASE HELP :)

char only takes in a single character. This may be what you are looking for:

If you still have a problem, then it is likely something else in your code.

use getline instead of cin:

#include <string>

int main ()
{
    std::string str;
    /* bla bla */
    std::getline ( cin, str );
    /* bla bla */

    return 0;
}
