[n00b] Variable with space is split

[Charles]

This is very strange. In the following program, If I type a one-word
name, it works fine. Now, if I type a two-word name, the program splits
the variable into two:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::cout << "What is your name? ";
std::string name;
std::cin >name;
std::cout << "Hello, " << name
<< std::endl << "And what is yours? ";
std::cin >name;
std::cout << "Hello, " << name
<< "; nice to meet you too!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Do you know why?
Thanks.

See the description of the >operator in details on p.15.

When you read a string from cin via operator>>, the delimiter is
whitespace. Each operator>will
stop after a whitespace, while the next operator>will ignore
whitespace and continue parsing the
input.

so, if I type;

tolga ceylan<return>

then the first operator>gets "tolga"

and stops at whitespace. The next operator>will skip whitespace and
get "ceylan" and stop at <return>

Hope this helps,

Thanks, ah ok, I didn't grasp that...Interesting. Now I know!

This is a C++ book not a place for human relationship questions. It's
private you should stop!

Dear ladies and gentlemen, please forgive mathematician for his curios
question, really sorry about that..

But if you know the reasons, I think others might also want to hear a

Default delimiter is Whitespace!
