Another thing that is happening in your program is that you are using cin to read from STDIN. &nbsp;This will read one word at a time not one line.<br />
<br />
If you want to read one line you have to use<br />
<br />
std::getline(std::cin, s);

I have a question about the following simple c++ program<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28132548-1">#include &lt;iostream&gt;

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	while (cin &gt;&gt; s)
	{
		cout &lt;&lt; s &lt;&lt; endl;
	}
	return 0;
}	</code></pre>
This program just reads text into a string from the standard input, then outputs it to the screen via std::cout. My question if one enters lots of separate words separated by spaces and terminated by EOF, the program will output each word on a separate line. Why does this happen?

Using cout for string

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
