To enter a full name, such as John Doe, you will need to use getline otherwise it will only take the word before the space.

So,

string fullname;
cout << "Enter full name: ";
getline(cin, fullname);

I don't understand your issue. Please clarify

[malikrgc]

when i use this code ==> getline(cin, fullname);

program doesnt want my name just it show in enter your name but
there is no line to enter my name
do you understand ?

Are you sure?

Try:

string fullname;
cout << "Enter name: ";
getline(cin, fullname);
cout << fullname;

Enter your name and see if it reports.

It does work. You must put the code in a program and compile it and then run it.

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
using std::string;
 using std::cin;
 using std::cout;
string fullname;
cout << "Enter name: ";
getline(cin, fullname);
cout << fullname;
 return 0;
}
