    Very basic help

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    string name;
    int main()
    
    { 
        cout << "Hello, Please enter your name\n";
        cin >> name;
        cout << "Hello ";
        cout << name; 
        
        system ("PAUSE");
    }
    So the problem is After "Hello (name)" i cannot make the "Press any key to continue" or whatever, move down a line?

    The message will appear after all other text on the console. If you want it to appear on a different line, output a newline before calling pause.

    I did this and it works.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    using namespace std;
    string name;
    int main()
    
    { 
        cout << "Hello, Please enter your name\n";
        cin >> name;
        cout << "Hello ";
        cout << name; 
        cout << "\n";
        
        system ("PAUSE");
    }
