Write a program to input the full name and then print total number of characters present in it, using c++. Make it short.

Question

Input : Harsh Tirkey
Output : 12
It should read space between the name as a character.

Answer 1

Yes, thats why I found it a little odd that you used it here. Thanks for clearing the doubt!

Answer 2

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char str[200];
cin.getline(str,200);
cout<<strlen(str);
return 0;
}

Answer 3

@Atikrant Negi {Gamma}

I just had a doubt there. Why did you use a cin.get(ch) call before the getline()? Is it to clear the buffer so that getline() isn't skipped? Or is it something else?

Answer 4

I wrote it by mistake .
cin.get(ch) is used before the getline() only in a loop if reading a value for first time . Cause I. that case it skips the first letter.

like here
.....//some code
cin.get(ch);
for(I=0;I<n;I++) {
cout<<"\n Enter your name";
cin.getline(name,100);
}
....//some code .

Answer 5

@kinshuk
its for clearing the buffer zone .
If its not written there then the first letter of the input will be skipped .

Answer 6

oh wait something is wrong .
That's not right .
