why getline is not working on string array

[davez]

string yow[3][2];
    getline(cin,yow[0][1]);
    cout<<yow;

why is it not working?

cout is demanding to be more specific

hello ,

just use ( std :: ) before getline() or use ( using namespace std;) before main function

like this

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
int main ()
{
     string yow[3][2];
     getline(cin,yow[0][1]);
     cout<<yow;

     return 0;
}

here is output of this code

[[, ], [, ], [, ]]

see the online output of any code at this page :: http://codepad.org
choose your programming language and put your code in that form , then press submit
after a while you will see the output !!!

You need to specify what element of your array you want to print.

here is output of this code
[[, ], [, ], [, ]]

No. It should ouptut the address of yow variable. Any other sesult can be only cause by non-standard extension. Check on online compilers which are sane (or at least tells which compiler they use):

Those two do not allow to link directly to the code:

your right MiiNiPaa

program will gets a line ( string ) as an input , then prints the address of yaw variable

for example :

input :1654654654
output : 0x7fff1e9653f0

but that website......

Sorry guys !!!

[davez]

@jib even if i specify the output of the array it still gives me incorrect results

[MiiNiPaa]

Show your updated code.

[davez]

@miinPaa ill send you my code as a pm

[davez]

the admin pin number is 0000

[MiiNiPaa]

cin>>name[counter][0];
cout<<"\tEnter Name:";
getline(cin,name[counter][1]);

[davez]

were you able to correct the my codes?

[davez]

thanks i was able to do it but is there any other way because the <limits> was not discussed to us yet

[MiiNiPaa]

Answer gives you 2 solutions and describes why second one is superior. Why everyone uses first one?

Use std::cin >> ws;
Alternatively, you can just pass large number (like 1000) as ignore() first parameter.
