Strings with spaces?

[tehrealbinglebob]

This is my program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

      string name;
      
      cout << "Welcome, What is your name?" << endl;
      cin >> name;
      cout << name << endl;
    
}

When you enter strings with a space, it doesn't print out the part of the string after the space. Why? I'm pretty new to C++ and I can't figure this out.

Because >> stops at whitespace.

If you want the whole line, use getline:

//  cin >> name;  // bad
getline(cin,name);  // good
