How can I input a string into my programme with getline function?

"For Sololearn,somehow std::getline() doesn't trigger the input console"
May I please know what did you mean by that.
I have used this getline function atleast in 2-3 of my codes on sl and input wizard appears as usual so I'm bit confused what did you mean.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Shadow your provided code doesn't prompt window due to spaces in parameters.//weakness of SL IDE

Answer 4

Define a string and then store the input there, e.g.
std::string userInput;
std::getline( std::cin, userInput );

For SoloLearn, somehow std::getline() doesn't trigger the input console. A workaround would be to place
#define dummy std::cin >>
somewhere in your program, then everything should work as expected.

Answer 6

Lol, okay, compile-wise that makes absolutely no sense as whitespaces should be ignored by a compiler, but alright. Ignore my previous statement in that case.
