string in STL

[asif_rahman0]

I am facing a trouble for STRING in STL.

Code: Select all

#include <string>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
......
string name;
...........
int main(){ scanf("%s",name); return 0;}
....

Why does it cause problem?? Can anybody tell me?
But

Code: Select all

...
cin>>name;
..

It works fine.

because scanf wants to see the name as a simple char* ! and it is not possible.
read a string with cin or getline instead of scanf
