Can any1 help me with printing out the student record when the user inputs the information? i wrote a for loop statement to print out the user input and set the width to 60, but it doesn't print it out...

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
struct Record
{
	char lastName[80];
	char firstName[80];
	char id[20];
	int score;
};
int main ()
{
	Record student[5];
	char dummy;
	for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
	cout<<"Enter last name: ";
	cin>>student[i].lastName;
	dummy=getchar();
	cout<<"Enter first name: ";
	cin.getline(student[i].firstName, 80);
	cout<<"Enter id: ";
	cin>>student[i].id;
	cout<<"Enter score: ";
	cin>>student[i].score;
	}
	for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
	cout<<setw(60)<<student[i].lastName
		<<setw(60)<<student[i].firstName
		<<setw(60)<<student[i].id
		<<setw(60)<<student[i].score<<endl;
	}
}
