[SOLVED] Simple question about string whitespace in C++?

[Ninjakreborn]

All I am wondering is why is cin cutting out my spaces.  If I type "Time to die" into the command line it returns "time".  If I type "Today is the time I am performing this test" it returns "Today".  This is kind of strange.  Any reason why spaces are being cut out..or more of it finds the first space and everything after it is removed.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string time;
cout<<"What time is it? \n";
cin>>time;
cout<<"Now that you entered the time...it is \n";
cout<<time << "\n";

system("PAUSE");
return 1;
}

sin::getline helped me solve this problem.  Thanks again.

cin reads until it hits a white space.

 

Sometimes stringstreams are used to explode a string because of that.  (Keep reading until a space, so it's essentially space delimited.)

Ah that is why. Thank you yet again.
