In C++, the `getline()` function is used to read a line of text from an input stream (such as standard input or a file) and store it in a string variable. Its purpose is to easily obtain an entire line of input, rather than just a single word or character.<\/p>\n

Grammar:<\/p>\n

#include <string>
<\/p>
getline(cin, str);<\/p><\/pre>\n
cin is the standard input stream object.<\/p>\n
str is a string variable used to store the text lines read.<\/p>\n
\u793a\u4f8b\uff1aExample<\/p>\n
#include <iostream>
<\/p>
#include <string><\/p>
int main() {<\/p>
    std::string input;<\/p>
    std::cout << \"\u8bf7\u8f93\u5165\u4e00\u884c\u6587\u672c: \";<\/p>
    std::getline(std::cin, input);<\/p>
    std::cout << \"\u4f60\u8f93\u5165\u7684\u6587\u672c\u662f: \" << input << std::endl;<\/p>
    return 0;<\/p>
}<\/p><\/pre>\n
In the above example, the `getline()` function is used to read a line of text inputted by the user from the standard input stream and store it in a string variable named `input`. The text is then outputted to the console.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that the `getline()` function will read the input stream until it encounters a newline character (including the newline character) and remove it from the input stream. Therefore, the next time you read, the `getline()` function will read the next line of text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
