This is regarding the use of cin.get() inbuilt function in the video reading strings. I am attaching a hyperlink. When I remove the function my program is not able to read more than one string whereas, the only use that I know of the function is to be able to take in white spaces similar to gets() in c++. Please elaborate.
The use of function cin.get()
Hi @rachitbansal2500
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’
