Getline ignoring first character of input

Question

I\'m just starting with arrays in C++ and I\'m having a problem getting the first character of an array.

This is my code,

1- I enter a name, such as \"Jim\"<

Answer 1

Here is signature of cin.ignore:

istream& ignore (streamsize n = 1, int delim = EOF);

So if you call ignore function without any parameters, it will ignore '1' char by default from input. In this case it ignored 'J'. Remove ignore call and you will get 'Jim'.
