why is this happening ?

[eliokdc]

include<iostream>

include<conio.h>

using namespace std ;
int main (){

string name;

cin>>name;

cout<<name;

cout<<endl;

getch();

return 0;}

//if u run the prog, and u enter ur first and last name after hitting enter it will show u the first name. My professor asked me to search why this is happening, i know i will find answers here, thank you guys.

"searching" and "asking" is not the same thing. If he wants you to investigate the matter, then you should investigate the matter, not just ask someone else for the answer.

hint hint. it has something to do with cin and strings. try looking up another way of inputting information.
