Why does reading a record struct fields from std::istream fail, and how can I fix it?

Question

Suppose we have the following situation:

• A record struct is declared as follows

---

struct Person {
    unsigned int id;
    std::st         


        

Answer 1

You have whitespace between firstname and lastname. Change your class to have firstname and lastname as separate strings and it should work. The other thing you can do is to read in two separate variables such as name1 and name2 and assign it as

actRecord.name = name1 + " " + name2;
