mixing cin and getline input issues [duplicate]

Answer 1

You need cin.ignore() between two inputs:because you need to flush the newline character out of the buffer in between.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

string word, line;


cout << "enter a word" << endl;
cin >> word;

cout << "enter a line" << endl;

cin.ignore();
getline(cin,line);

cout << "your word is " << word << endl;
cout << "your line is " << line << endl;

return 0;
}

For your second answer, when you enter whole string in first cin, it takes only one word, and the rest is taken by getline and thus your program will execute without taking input from getline
