Why does cin.get() function like this?

[Peter Lesslie]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
char c = 0;
while ( c != '\n' ) {
cin.get();
cout << "-"
}
 
return 0;
}

Why is the output of this code:
Hello World.
-------------

Rather than:
H-e-l-l-o- -W-o-r-l-d-.--


(When the user inputs the string "Hello World" and presses enter).

Because you typed in Hello World as input on line 7.
Your output came from line 8 and was a series of dashes.

Hello World.

loop goes like bellow

takes input H and print -
takes input e and print -
takes input l and print -
takes input l and print -
...
...
takes input \n and print -
 

but the cursor is already ahead of your input. Here it doesn't go backward. cout prints in cursor position so input is like that.
