  • 0

When I read one char* from std::cin and I want to write it to std::cout, it prints until it finds a \0 in memory. So what did was:

char c;
cin >> c;
char* pChar = &c;
pChar++;
*pChar = '\0';
println(&c); // My own method: void println(char * str) { cout << str << endl; }

But I don’t think this is a safe action.

Is there a safer way to do this?

    Simply:

    char c;
    cin >> c;
    cout << c;
