Cin and cin.getline does not work together

#1

I tried using cin and cin.getline but the string does not get stored.
When I used cin to input string it worked but with cin.getline() it does not work
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main() {
char s[5];
int k;
cin>>k;
cin.getline(s,5);
cout<<k<<s;

return 0;

}

Hi @prat98
In above code, the output is not printed as desired. Reason to this is an occupied Buffer. The “\n” character goes remains there in buffer after we enter k as input and press enter and read as next input s. So to handle this problem you have to use cin.ignore() like this :

int k;
cin>>k;
cin.ignore();
cin.getline(s,5);
cout<<k<<s;
