Reading
String Data
•The extraction operator can be used but not with any strings which have blanks embedded in them. (it
stops reading
when it encounters a whitespace)
•There’s a function we can use: getline.
•It stops when it reaches a newline character. (the newline character is consumed)
Example: getline(cin, myString);
