cin will take input up to a space. getline() will take entire input; hence why it is often used for strings. You need to press return/enter for both...

In cin you have to press enter key after entering data In getline you have to just enter without pressing enter. In pc In your mobile both are same

The getline is a member function of cin for input the whole line into string variable.
