(This exercise is for those who have studied the optional section entitled

“File Names as Input.”) Suppose you are given the following string variable declaration and input statement.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// ...

char name[21];

cout >> name;

Suppose this code segment is embedded in a correct program. What is the

longest name that can be entered into the string variable name?

The maximum number of characters that can be typed in for a string variable is one less than the declared size. Here the value is 20.

Post the discussion to improve the above solution.
