I've been making tremoendous strides with help from the cprogramming.com 
tutorial (it may not be trustworthy, but it gives me an idea), Thinking in 
C++, and everyone here.  I've not only figured out cin and cout, but I've 
also successfully implemented do/while and for loops, switch/case and if 
statements, and creating functions and  passing, modifying, and correctly 
returning variables.  Now, my project calls for me to implement strings.  
But I'm left scratching my head between the tutorials and fidling around; 
what I think should work either errors out during compilation, or gets stuck 
in an endless loop.

I've tried:

char string_var[20];
cin.getline(string_var, 20, '\n');


I've even tried:

char string_var[20];
int count=0;

do
{
  cin>>char[count];
  count++;
} while ((count<20)!!(string_var[count-1]=='\n'))


As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Tim
