to ask for a string on the console, use

std:string sin;
std::cin >> sin;




or

std::getline( std::cin, sin );



either way will get you a string. The difference is, the first one will only give you the word up to the first whitespace character while the second will give you a whole line.

Both will be stored in the variable sin
