How to take string input

amit_yo · Sep '12

I am not a newbie but i don't understand following code's behaviour..

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
using namespace std;
main()
{
    int a;
    char s[10];
    cin>>a;
    gets(s);
    cout<<s;
}

When input is like
"1 string"
it is good
but this does not work if input is
"1
string"
i.e. you can't hit enter after 1. why???
