this is the code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std ;

void main ()
{
  string name;

  cout << "Please, enter your full name: ";
  getline (cin,name,'$');
  cout << "Hello, " << name ;

  cin.get();

}

Answer 1

The new line character, that was entered by the user after the $, will remain in the input stream as it will not have been consumed by getline(): this is the character that get() reads.

Just use getline, using new line as delimiter (the default).
