Question

Consider the following C++ statements : 

char word (20] 

cin>>word; 

cout<<word; gets(word);puts(word); If the string entered is “HAPPY NEW YEAR”, 

predict the output and justify your answer.

Answer 1

cin>>word; 

cout<<word;

It displays “HAPPY” because cin takes characters upto the space. That is space is the delimiter for cin. The string after space is truncated. To resolve this use gets ( ) function. Because gets ( ) function reads character upto the enter key. 

Hence gets (word);

puts (word); 

Displays “HAPPY NEW YEAR”
