How to input two words with space b/t??

cstokes (4)
My program runs fine. The only problem I have is when my program prompts for an animal name it wigs out when I enter two words... such as "Black Bear". I am trying to utilize a character array in place of "string word" in order to this. I realize that I will need to use the cin.peek / strcopy commands, but I am unsure how to do it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

This should be help.. Check out this. It lets you type words with spaces.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::string name;
    std::cout << "What is your name? ";
    std::getline(std::cin, name);
    std::cout << "Hello " << name << ", nice to meet you.";
}


Output:
What is your name? John Q. Public
Hello John Q. Public, nice to meet you

I need to use a character array and be able to input/output multiple items.... I understand the getline command with a basic program, but can't figure it out using linked list. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
