On string doubts

#1

sometime you use cin.getline and sometime getline(cin,array name) please also tell what is difference between char a[10][10] and string [10] and sometime ur header file is cstring and sometime only string i am very confused about stringsss

@lovish2552 hey,The getline(cin,name) expects name to be a string. The second one expects name to be a pointer into a char array, into which it will store a C string.
In almost every situation, only (getline(cin, name):wink: makes sense. Even if you need a C string, it can be accessed afterwards by calling name.c_str().
Also string[10] means you are taking array of strings with 10 elements ,in which each element is of string type,char a[10][10] refers to 2d array with char datatype means every element in 2d array is char type.
The cstring header provides functions for dealing with C-style strings — null-terminated arrays of characters. This includes functions like strlen and strcpy . It’s the C++ version of the classic string.h header from C.
The string header provides the std::string class and related functions and operators.
