About the video lecture of reading a list of strings

#1

why do we have written cin.get() before the for loop

#2

Hi @aslesha.j7

cin.get() is used to flush or remove the data in buffer stream of cin. It is used when we need to read a string as input after we have used cin to take a number as input. So it is used between that number’s input and string input.

Hope it Helps.

#3

why it is necessary only in case of string inputs?

#4

Hi @aslesha.j7
Because strings take as input the whole buffered stream data and there are high possible chances that our string might take in some garbage value as input.

Hope it Helps.
