- Consider this input statement. The number of characters that are
- extracted from the cin stream depends on the type of x and the
- settings of the format state for the stream. For example, if you
- extract a pointer to character type, all the characters until the
- next whitespace character are extracted. If you extract an
- integer or floating-point value, all the characters are
- extracted until the first character that is not a digit or a
- valid numeric symbol (such as a sign or a decimal point).
