how to get string input using c++ code example

Example 1: C++ user input

int x; 
cout << "hurry, give me a number!: "; // Type a number and press enter
cin >> x; // Get user input from the keyboard
cout << "you picked: " << x << " !" // Display the input value

OR use:
getline >> (cin, variable-name);
instead of 
cin >> x;

Example 2: input a string in c++

string fullName;
cout << "Type your full name: ";
getline (cin, fullName);
cout << "Your name is: " << fullName;
