small string issue

[eman2013]

I enter "help me 34"
My problem is the 34 doesn't output. All that outputs is help me

  string s;
  cin<<s;
  cout<<s<<endl;

the istream >> operator reads characters until the first white-space is encountered

use std::istream::getline or std::getline

cin doesn't get a full line of input. If you want that, use std::getline. Be sure to include <string> however.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "I'll echo you! Enter:";
    string s;
    getline(cin, s);

    std::cout << "\n" <<s;

    return 0;
}

Output:

I'll echo you! Enter: Help me 34
Help me 34

The extraction operator can be used on cin to get strings of characters in the same way as with fundamental data types:

string mystring;
cin >> mystring;

However, cin extraction always considers spaces (whitespaces, tabs, new-line...) as terminating the value being extracted, and thus extracting a string means to always extract a single word, not a phrase or an entire sentence.

To get an entire line from cin, there exists a function, called getline, that takes the stream (cin) as first argument, and the string variable as second. For example:

// cin with strings
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;
  cout << "What's your name? ";
  getline (cin, mystr);
  cout << "Hello " << mystr << ".\n";
  cout << "What is your favorite team? ";
  getline (cin, mystr);
  cout << "I like " << mystr << " too!\n";
  return 0;
}

What's your name? Homer Simpson
Hello Homer Simpson.
What is your favorite team? The Isotopes
I like The Isotopes too!

Notice how in both calls to getline, we used the same string identifier (mystr). What the program does in the second call is simply replace the previous content with the new one that is introduced.

The standard behavior that most users expect from a console program is that each time the program queries the user for input, the user introduces the field, and then presses ENTER (or RETURN). That is to say, input is generally expected to happen in terms of lines on console programs, and this can be achieved by using getline to obtain input from the user. Therefore, unless you have a strong reason not to, you should always use getline to get input in your console programs instead of extracting from cin.

Thank you...I knew it was some small mistake...Thanks again!
