20:58 dont want to be a know it all here but just for the people who want to learn C in the future - because there these so called "escape sequences" are REALLY important - '\n' is not the NULL-Terminator, that would be '\0' and is automatically (in C++, in C you need to do the escape sequence stuff by yourself! thats why its so important) added at the end of every string to terminate it. Its the reason why a string (which is just a char-array) always takes at least one more char then needed for the stored text. What we are seeing here, the '\n' is the "new line sequence" - it occurs when pressing the enter-key but also 'endl' basically is just '\n'.
Again: I really dont want to be smart-alecky here - this is just way too important of a topic if you want to get into C and technical programming/embedded systems :P

Super quick question if you know the fix to this...

I created a program such that it asks for 3 things. Your name( I used getline to ask for user input)
I then asked the user for their age(I used cin>>age) for this, and lastly I asked what their favorite dessert was(I used getline to ask for user input)

My issue is that it didn't allow for user input on the dessert part of it. Is there a way to fix this?

[orangebrandon]

with VS it seems we dont need to add the &: for the getline command. Why ? And do you recommend VS code ?

I'm confused on why you would add the number 45 "int age = 45;" guessing size of number is irrelevant, and you're just letting console know you want a digit and not a string?
