Problem with cin.get()

[sethradio]

I wrote this simple program:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
using namespace std;
char word[256];
char wordtoo[256];
cout << "Enter a word>";
cin.get(word,256);
cout << word << endl;
cout << "Other word>";
cin.get(wordtoo,256);
cout << wordtoo << endl;
return 0;
}

But when I build and run it, Other word> pops up and the program ends without giving me a chance to type anything. I'm never able to figure out how to use cin.get() more than once in any program.

Please help. (Please give code examples if you can.)

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
using namespace std;
char word[256];
char wordtoo[256];
cout << "Enter a word>";
cin.getline(word,256);
cout << word << endl;
cout << "Other word>";
cin.getline(wordtoo,256);
cout << wordtoo << endl;
return 0;
}

You should use cin.getline instead of get in that case...

Thanks! But is it impossible to use cin.get twice?

I have put it in my Compiler and this works just fine. And yes it is possible to use cin.get twice as well.

How? I'm using VC10 as my compiler. I tried g++ and I have the same issue

If the delimiting character is found, it is not extracted from the input sequence and remains as the next character to be extracted
