Can I use gets on C++?

[Wei-Ming Chen]

Can I use gets or getchar on C++?
If can't, what can I use to instead?

[mf]

Yes, you can use gets() and getchar().
In fact, you can use anything that's in ANSI C.

But I got compile error

By the way
I wrote

char x[200];
getline(cin,x);

is it wrong?

[mf]

To use gets() and getchar() you have to include <stdio.h> or <cstdio>.

If il doesn't help, post your source code here.

char x[200];
getline(cin,x);

is it wrong?

I get a compile error with that with gcc. This code should be okay:
string x;
getline(cin, x);
