I am having trouble using cin.get() outside of the main function.

I prompt the user for input eg.

char FullName[256];
cout << "Enter Your Full Name\n:";
cin.get(FullName,256);

and the program compiles without error, but when I run it it skips
right by the cin.get() and displays

Enter Your Full Name
:
(The rest of the program)

I have been able to use it in main, however, with the way my program
works, it is impossible to put it in main without throwing the whole
thing off.

Please e-mail any advice to

Thank you,
