Space is not shown

Hello so i have a problem with the spaces in c++ check this

char inp[10000];
char outp[10000];
int i;
cin >> inp;
for(i=0;i<=strlen(inp);i++)
{
  outp [i] = inp[i];
  cout << outp[i];
}

So if i run this and type: Hello stackoverflow the output will be: Hello. Any help will be appreciated , also this is just a part of the code.

When you use the >> operator of cin, it takes the first token of a string separated by spaces. Hence, saying:

cin >> input; // where input is "hello 12 years"

... is exactly the same with 

std::getline( cin, input, ` `);

To get the entire "sentence" that the user enters in the console, you have to use std::getline without the separator parameter:

std::getline( cin, input );

cin>> just takes the word until it encounters \0

cin.getline(name of string, string size) takes the words until it encounters \n

\0 - Null character, it is there in every string of continues letters.
\n - New line character, it is there when a line ends, (a line consists generally of 80 characters).

So, in your code you have used cin>> which makes your program to only take a single word and not more than that.
Try using cin.getline(name of string, size of string) instead which will make your code work accordingly.

Firstly, why are you using arrays of chars instead of std::string? Much cleaner to use strings unless you have a VERY good reason for using arrays of chars. Secondly, if you want to read in a variable amount of words and save each of them individually (which it seems like you might be trying to do), try this:

std::string output[10000];
std::string inp;
int i = 0;
while (cin >> inp){
   output[i] = inp;
   i++;
}

This will read all your words and store each one in a separate index in output. Hope this helps!

std::cout separate words by white spaces (normally), you can use std::getline instead.

std::getline(std::cin, inp);

And, it's better to use std::string for strings rather that array of characters.
