Hello world (snicker),

Ok I am on the ground floor of learning c++... (no kidding)

I am dabbling around with of course the "Hello World" code and I have used the following;

Code:
#include <iostream.h>
char name;


 int main()

 {
	 cout<<"Please enter your name \n";
	 cin>>name;
	 cout<<"You entered "<<name;
	      	 
 }
well it WILL ask for the name:

So I put "Anjari"

but the output will only show:

You entered A
It will not show the full line "Anjari"

what am I doing wrong?

also... If I wanted to add the following:

Code:
#include <iostream.h>
char name;
char accept;


 int main()

 {
	 cout<<"Please enter your name \n";
	 cin>>name;
	 cout<<"You entered "<<name<<"\n";
     cout<<"Was this Correct? (Y/N)";
	 cin>>accept;
	      	 
 }
It will completely ignore the "Was this Correct? (Y/N)"; part....

why?

Thanks in advance....

Anjari
