One of the most useful data types supplied in the C++ libraries is the string. A string is a variable that stores a sequence of letters or other characters, such as "Hello" or "May 10th is my birthday!". Just like the other data types, to create a string we first declare it, then we can store a value in it.

also std::getline is better because you dont need a specific size;
Usage:
std::getline(input_stream, output_string, delimeter)
And to read a string normally just do this:
std::string name; //make a name variable as a real string, not a char array
std::getline(std::cin, name, ' '); // you dont need delimeter but i put one because yes
std::cout << name << std::endl; // and print it out
and you can get the string size using the .size() function

Also i found a bug in C++ Builder (the compiler)
If i declared an int:
int words;
and did this:
for(int i=0; i<in.size(); i++){
if(in[i] == ' ') words++;
std::cout << in[i] << ENDL;
}
and it says this:
There are 4198618 word(s) in test a b
but when i do:
int words = 0;
THEN:
There are 2 word(s) in test a b

Fix this embarcadero :o
