Question

Use C++ language Create a program which will ask the user to input three songs for a playlist (you may use TV shows or movies, if you prefer). Declare three strings to store each of the songs. Use getline to receive the input. Display output which lists each of the songs (or movies or tv shows), on separate lines, with a title on the first line: My Playlist. Insert three lines of comments at the beginning of the program for your name, today's date, and my playlist on the third line.

Answer 1

The program can be designed using the getline function.

The getline function is used for input of the strings until a new line is encountered. This helps in taking multiple words as input instead of just a single word.

Syntax:

getline(cin, variable_name)

The following steps are required for writing the program:

• Header files iostream and string have to be included.
• In the main function create three string variables.
• Prompt the user to enter the names of songs.
• Input the name of the songs using the getline function.
• Using the cout statement, display the names of the songs in the playlist.

The C++ program is as follows:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{   
    //variables for storing the name of the songs
    string s1,s2,s3;
    
    //input the first song
    cout<<"Enter the first song name:\n";
    getline(cin,s1);
    
    //input the second song
    cout<<"Enter the second song name:\n";
    getline(cin,s2);
    
    //input the third song
    cout<<"Enter the third song name:\n";
    getline(cin,s3);
    
    //output all the songs
    cout<<"\n    MY PLAYLIST\n";
    cout<<"1."<<s1<<endl;
    cout<<"2."<<s2<<endl;
    cout<<"3."<<s3;
}

Sample output:
