Question

How do I read a string input from the user in C++?

Answer 1

To read a string input from the user in C++, you can use the std::getline function from the <string> header. 

Here's an example code snippet:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
    std::string name;
    
    std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, name);
    
    std::cout << "Hello, " << name << "!" << std::endl;
    
    return 0;
}

In this example, std::getline reads the entire line of input, including any spaces, and stores it in the name variable.
