How can I get input for more than one letter (a whole word)??
I want to make a simple program that asks you for your name, and then
shows it on the screen.

This is what I have so far:

  #include <iostream.h>

  main()
  {
   char name;
   int x;
   cout << "Name: ";
   cin >> name;
   cout << "Hello, " << name << "\n";
  }

It only takes the first letter of the name.

Can someone help me with this please?
