Hi everybody.I want to know if there exists any method to read a pair of lines simultaneously with function like getline().I have tried it but it just
let me to read a line only.Let me know the method of reading i/p format like below in C++ where I have to read both first and second line inside of a while loop.
Code: Select all

Actually I want to read those lines in C++'s string.
like
Code: Select all
string s[2];
int n;
while(n)
{
//read consecutive two lines in s
}
Can u help me?

In C++ you can read strings only with
getline (cin, s)
or
cin >> s
So there is no such function that can read two lines into one string.

I'd rather prefer using gets to getline, since it's much more faster.

Yes, absolutely right.
gets() is dozens of times faster than getline(), but... it's not a C++-way
theme of "gets vs. getline" was repeated many times at this forum, but I think I won't be bad to repeat it again:
if you read/write less than 100 kb - you can use cin/getline/cout etc. without any problems.
if you need read/write much more data - always use scanf/gets/printf.
reading a megabyte using cin/getline may take about a second and even more...
