Use a string to define then use a variable. No more arrays!!!

gistfile1.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string> //this is important in defining the string

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string myStringVariable
  
  cout<< "Type your string: ";
  cin<< myStringVariable;
  cin.ignore();
  cout<< "Your string is " << myStringVariable << ".";
  cin.get()
}
