  11. Hi,
  12. I'm working on a school project right now and had a few questions
  13. about storing strings.
  14.  
  15. What I am trying to do is the following:
  16.  
  17. char* string;
  18. cin>>string;
  19. cout<<string;
  20.  
  21. However, I figured out that that this won't work but I am not sure of
  22. the reason.  Could someone explain what's going on here and also
  23. suggest a way that I can input and store a string of arbitrary length?
  24. Reply via email would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
