Strings and Spaces.

[Ben Duncan]

When doing an extremely simple code such as this:

cout << "Enter a string:\n";
	cin >> a;
	cout << a << "\n";

If I type in more than one word for a; say I typed in:

Hello World!

It would only cout

Hello

Do strings always do this?
Is there a way to overcome it?
Am I doomed forever?

>> gets until whitespace.

If you want the whole line, use getline:

//cin >> a;  // boo
getline(cin,a); // yay!

Ah, thank you so much!

Massive help, cheers!
