annoying getline

[xenovia12]

What is the use of getline?

 Getline(cin,/*...*/,'/n')

Is it the same as

Cin>>/*....*/

std::cout << "enter your name: "; std::string line; std::cin >> line; srd::cout << line;

enter your name: Maria Rosa Coccia Maria

std::cout << "enter your name: "; std::string line; std::getline(std::cin, line); srd::cout << line;

Both getline and (various overloads of) >> do have reference documentation (for example, on this site) that describe their details.

getline() is useful for things like strings, in which you want to get the entire line. Cin>>string will not work, as it will only get the first word. It terminates at whitespaces I believe
