c++

im new to c++ and have a little problem with a project. I need to read the input from the user that follows the following format.. LETTER SPACE NUMBERS .. The only method we've learned so far is cin for reading user inputs, and cin will only read the letter since there is a space in the user input. I've googled a bit and found the function getline, but now I don't know how to read what letter they entered and the number separately... help.

Stopped reading there.

Fuck this letter. This is the shittiest character in the world. People who open their posts with it deserve to die.
This horrible letter doesn't merely mean that the post is devoid of any form of kality, it also means that your post is actively trying to skuander my precious time.
