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
