How do I use a string in C++?

I want to declare a variable as a string so that I could have the user enter their name. If I do this:


char a[10];


When the user enters their name, only the first letter shows up. What am I missing?

How do I use a string in C++?
u can use string datatype or using char it can be done





do


main()


{


char a[];


cin%26gt;%26gt;a;


cout%26lt;%26lt;a;


}


it is the way
Reply:you just input


System.out.print("Insert text here");


This is a basic string of text...
Reply:A character array as a string is not C++, it's an old way of having a cstring. If you want a C++ string you need:


#include %26lt;string%26gt;





string name; //declaration





cin %26gt;%26gt; name; //the user enters their name.





Hope this helps..
