Cin.get() and cin.getline()

#1

What is the difference between the two?
How are they working? Do we need to use both of them together?

#2

cin.getline() reads input up to ‘\n’ and stops

cin.get() reads input up to ‘\n’ and keeps ‘\n’ in the stream

For example :

char str1[100];
char str2[100];
cin.getline(str1 , 100);
cin.get(str2 , 100);
cout << str1 << " "<<str2;

input :
1 2
3 4
output 1 2 3 4 // the output expexted

When reverse them
For example :

char str1[100];
char str2[100];
cin.get(str2 , 100);
cin.getline(str1 , 100);
cout << str1 << " "<<str2;

input :
1 2
3 4
output 1 2 // the output unexpexted because cin.getline() read the ‘\n’

the example is unclear.
