Thanx Oh ok. So you are just gonna accept the details from the user at run time and display it on the screen is it?
then it would be very simple. you could make a try to do this. We will help you out in case if you face any error!!

Hi all,
What is the problem with this code? -
#include<iostream.h>
-
#include<conio.h>
-
-
void main()
-
-
{
-
-
clrscr();
-
-
long char a,b,c,d,e;
-
-
cout<<"------------";
-
cout<<"\nStudent Form";
-
cout<<"\n------------";
-
-
cout<<"\n\n\n\n";
-
-
cout<<"Enter your Name : ";
-
cin>>a;
-
-
cout<<"\nEnter your Father's Name : ";
-
cin>>b;
-
-
cout<<"\nEnter your Degree : ";
-
cin>>c;
-
-
cout<<"\nEnter your Phone No. : ";
-
cin>>d;
-
-
cout<<"\nEnter your Date of Birth : ";
-
cin>>e;
-
-
-
getch();
-
-
}
There is no problem but when i input name "Ali" or any other output is this - Enter your Name : Ali
-
Enter your Father's Name :
-
Enter your Degree :
-
Enter your Phone No. :
-

But i enter only a single character like only A or any other it works right.
I m not understanding this.

You declare variable "a" as long char, then you instruct your code to read from the standard input stream and store the result in a.
No wonder why you can only read one character at a time.

I would recommend looking into using strings. If, for some odd reason you can't, you can always use a char*.
I have also combined your threads that are on the same problem - in the future, please keep all questions about the same code in a single thread. As this is the second time in 5 hours that I have had to warn you (and you're a Guru?!), you are now responsible for reading and following the Posting Guidelines of this site. If you fail to follow these, we will have to take further action against your account.

You are right but only for this post.
The both of later posts are different but the title is same.
Anyway
I have used char* but after running the programe when it terminates C++ gives an error and closed itself.
When i iwrite this Ali Rizwan with a space between Ali and Rizwan it do as i say means it donot ask for next three or four input it switches to the fourth one and so on
bu if i donot put any space it do right.
How can i declare a character type variable so that user can store any type of word in it.
Thanx

Thanx You can't do it in a char (unless you are storing 'a' or 'I'), because of the size of a char. You need a char[] or a string to hold multiple char variables.
