Best way to get strings [solved]

Question

I used to use "getline( cin >> ws, str);" but in references I noticed that they use "getline ( cin, str);" So what's the best way of get this strings

Answer 1

I played with BroFar's code and arrived to this conclusion:
Given " String with withespaces" as input.

getline(cin, str); str is now the given string.

getline (cin >> ws, str); str is now:
"String with withespaces" , notice how the initial withespaces got removed.

Answer 2

Elliot Larez if you go to my second code this is actually the way to get rid of all ws thanks to Ipang for flashing a trigger

Answer 3

Elliot Larez not sure if this is what you mean but it includes whitespace between words:

? Are you trying to eliminate whitespace ?

Answer 4

Quoted from https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/manip/ws

std::ws
"Discards leading whitespace from an input stream."

One usecase of `std::ws` I happen to know, is to read a `std::string` after reading a number using `std::cin` like in this code below 👇

There may be other usecases that I just don't know yet.
