Questions and Answers

What occurs when using the getline function in C++?

It stops reading at the newline character. (correct)
It only reads until the first whitespace.
It automatically trims leading whitespace.
It ignores subsequent input after reading a line.

What is the primary purpose of the cin.ignore() function?

To halt the input process entirely.
To skip over a specific number of characters. (correct)
To remove all leading whitespace characters.
To read input from the user without skipping any characters.

Which output would be stored in str2 if the code 'cin >> str1; getline(cin, str2);' is used?

It will prompt for input again since str1 is not relevant.
It captures input until an EOF is detected.
Only the remaining part of the line after str1. (correct)
The complete input including whitespace after str1.

Study Notes

Input and Output

cin and the Extraction Operator >> reads data into variables of various data types
- char: Reads a single character, skipping leading whitespaces
- int & double: Reads digits and signs, stopping at whitespace or non-digit characters
getline(cin, strVar) reads the entire line of input, including whitespaces and stops at the newline character (\n)
cin.ignore() discards the next character from the input stream
- Can be used with arguments: .ignore(intExp, chExp) where:
  - intExp: Number of characters to ignore
  - chExp: Character to stop ignoring at

String Input

cin >> strVar: Exctracts characters until finding a whitespace
- Ignores initial whitespaces and only stores the characters leading up to the first whitespace
For input lines containing multiple words or phrases, cin >> strVar will only store the first word.
getline(cin, strVar): Reads the entire line of input, including whitespaces
- Useful for capturing lines that contain spaces

Formatting Output

cout is used to output data to the console
cout <<: The insertion operator sends data to the console
- <<" can be used multiple times in a single cout statement to output different data
Manipulators are used to format output:
- endl: Inserts a newline character (\n)
setw(int): Sets the field width of the next value output
- Sets minimum width for the next value to print
- Pads with spaces if the value is shorter than the specified field width
setprecision(int): Sets the precision of floating-point numbers
- Specifies the number of digits to display after the decimal point
- fixed manipulator can be used to force the use of fixed-point notation
setfill(char): Sets the fill character to be used for padding in output
- Sets a character to be used to fill the remaining space in field width
left: Left-aligns the output
right: Right-aligns the output
showpos: Shows the sign of positive numbers
noshowpos: Hides the sign of positive numbers
showpoint: Shows the decimal point for all floating-point numbers
noshowpoint: Hides the decimal point for all floating-point numbers
