Use of cin.get( ) after cin>>n

#1

After using cin>>n, what is the use of writing cin.get( ).

#2

If after input number we use cin.getline() then the enter after input is not considered as the first string so in order to prevent it cin.get() is used.

@yashpundhir54,
When you would give input, it would be like
5(=n) (Enter aka new line)
asdsdaf
etc

now cin>>n, will get that 5, but there would still be a new_line char left, to capture that we use cin.get,
else get line would capture it and consider it a string, which we clearly don’t want.
