Ask user for specified amount of characters?
I am new to C++ and I want to prompt the user to enter 10 characters exactly, anything more will just be ignored for example:
- Please enter 10 characters:
123412341234
- You entered: 1234123412
//and the 34 will be ignored because they entered more than 10
I got to here now:
string userInput;
cout << "Please enter 10 characters!n";
cin >> userInput;
cout << "You entered: "<< userInput << endl;
Thank you everyone. Hope I am as accurate as I can be.

Let the user enter anything they want, and have your program chop off any excess characters.

Just ask the user to enter a string and then take the substring of that
std::string userInput;
std::cout << "Please enter 10 characters: ";
std::cin >> userInput;
if(userInput.length() > 10)
{
userInput = userInput.substr(0, 10);
}
std::cout << "You entered: " << userInput << std::endl;
