Trouble with obtaining strings from console.

[cplusfreak]

void Result::Input() {
    system("cls");
    std::cout<<"ENTER STUDENT'S ROLL. NO.: ";
    std::cin>>rollno;
    std::cout<<"ENTER STUDENT'S NAME: ";
    gets(name);
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN ENGLISH: ";
    std::cin>>eng;
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN MATHSEMATICS: ";
    std::cin>>mat;
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN SCIENCE: ";
    std::cin>>sci;
    Compute();
}

In the above code, it skips right through

std::cout<<"ENTER STUDENT'S NAME: ";
    gets(name);

I've also tried
cin.getline(name, 20);
Any suggestions?

you need to catch the newline.

void Result::Input() {
    system("cls");
    std::cout<<"ENTER STUDENT'S ROLL. NO.: ";
    std::cin>>rollno;
    std::cin.ignore();
    std::cout<<"ENTER STUDENT'S NAME: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, name);
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN ENGLISH: ";
    std::cin>>eng;
    std::cin.ignore();
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN MATHSEMATICS: ";
    std::cin>>mat;
    std::cin.ignore();
    std::cout<<"ENTER MARKS IN SCIENCE: ";
    std::cin>>sci;
    std::cin.ignore();
    Compute();
}
