cin in c++

[ziko]

I've started to explore c++ recently and I was using cin to get input from a user but it always misses the first character for example:
string name;
cin >> name;
cout << name << endl;
(if i wrote Tom for example on the console)
the result will be only : om
Can anybody help me with this kind of problem?

The code you posted should work. Are you sure you havent't fetched a character before this?

You might post the code that precedes the code you have shown.
