Noob C++ question

Capnpooh · #1 30-Mar-2006, 06:33

I was working through a tutorial and making really noob programs that when you inout an integer it would give out a reply. I was wondering if there was any thing i could use instead of the INT tag so that the user could input entire words.
Exe: so i can type in my name and it would reply whateever i want, like Your the Man!

Thanks for your time!

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
    std::string you;
    std::cin >> you;
    std::cout << "You da man " << you << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

// output:

Enter your name: Capnpooh
You da man Capnpooh

...because "your" the man is actually you're the man.

if you want the user to be able to enter a string with spaces in it, use getline:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
    std::string you;
    std::getline(std::cin, you); //regular-old-cin stops at a space; getline doesn't
    std::cout << "You da man " << you << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

// output:

Enter your name: Capnpooh The Third
You da man Capnpooh The Third
