Question about "storage"

[AandR2024]

I was looking at my graphing calculator and saw the "sto" button. Which stores a number value as a letter. I was wondering if there was something like this "sto" button, but not with a number value into a letter. How can I make a storage string?

They're called variables.

int v = 5;  // 'v' is now memory that currently has the value of 5 stored in it
v += 5;  // add 5 more to that memory.  Now 'v' has 10 stored in it.

Alright. So say I have this:
cout <<" What is your name?";
getline (cin, string);

how do I assign the answer to waht is your name, to a variable?

[Moschops]

string a;
cout <<" What is your name?";
getline (cin, a);

yes. I know that. but how do I save the answer to the question for later?

[Moschops]

See that variable, a? That will continue to exist until it goes out of scope. You can use it until that happens. Like this:

string a;
cout <<" What is your name?";
getline (cin, a);
...
// Later
cout << "You entered: " << a;

oohhh. But what if I have multiple questions on the same string?

string response;
cout <<" What is your name?";
getline (cin, response);
cout <<" What is your favorite color?";
getline (cin, response);

do I just have to make the questions on separate strings?

[Moschops]

string responseOne;
string responseTwo;
cout <<" What is your name?";
getline (cin, responseOne);
cout <<" What is your favorite color?";
getline (cin, responseTwo);

So I have to have different strings. Got it. Thanks.
