#include <cctype>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
char str1[80];

int main ()
{
  string input;
  string output;

  cout << "Enter a string of characters: ";
  cin >> input >> cin.get(str1, 80);
  cout << endl;

  for(int i=0 ; i < input.size() ; ++i) 
	{
		input[i] = toupper(input[i]);
	}

  cout << "The uppercase letters are: " << input << "\n"; 

  return 0; 
}

I need help with this code.
im trying to get the cin.get working where the user is allowed to enter an 80 character string and I have no idea on how to do that.

You want getLine: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/istream/istream/getline/
Line 21 should be cin.getLine(input, 80);
