Relative to Inputing Answers to a Question

When enetering in the code for a question I have found my self entering in a question that requires more than 4 or 5 characters, I need more characters so that the program will not all of a sudden ask two questions at once.

If you don't want an answer to your question then don't ask.

Here's a hint:

string name;
getline( cin, name );

It helps you by reading someone else code to see how it was done :)
