How can I have a user input spaces?

[Gregory Sakas]

In c++, I want a user to be able to enter an entire phrase, spaces and all. I know using a string doesn't work. What would work?

With getline

string do work but with the aid of

getline

so if you do it like this.

string name; 
cout << "please enter your full name: \n"; // prompting the user //
getline (cin,name); // user input which is name //
cout << "welcome: " << name << endl;

// the output from the code //
