How to limit cin to string?
-
char str[8];
cin >> str;When run, if inputed string size more than eight byte, result run time error. So, how to limit cin >> size or only get eight byte when inputed more than eight? thanks!

allocate memory dynamically based on the size of the string You can use a loop (upto 8) along with getch()/getchar() to get the user input
Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

cin statement doesn't provide you with limited input support. since it wait for RETRUN/ENTER key for updating the input character in buffer supplied to it.!

std::cin.get(str, sizeof(str), '\n'); or std::cin >> std::setw(sizeof(str)) >>str;

Were you expecting a different result? Why not use a
