Strings:

1. A data type to accept a string of characters.
   
2. Requires the string library:   #include ‹string›;
   
3. Declaration:   string name;
   
4. Assignment:   name = "Fred";  
   //enclosed in double quotes.
   
5. Reading: cin >> name;
   //only reads to a space or return.
   
6. getline (cin, name);
   reads everything until a return.
   
7. cin.ignore(80,'\n');   skips to the next line. E.g.:
   cin >> age;
   cin.ignore(80,'\n');   needed or name is read as the linefeed and empty.
   cin >> name;
