How can I handle user input safely in C++ without causing buffer issues?

Hi everyone👋

I’M working on a simple C++ project where users enter their name, hourly rate, and hours worked. I used cin >> for input, but I realized it fails when users include spaces in their name.

What’s the best way to handle this situation — should I switch to getline() or is there a safer, ¿More modern approach?

By the way, I’ve been experimenting with input validation and calculation logic using https://crscalculate.com to test formulas before implementing them — super useful for quick checks!

Thanks in advance for your help!
