Q: Swift Routing enum crashes when moved to a cocoapod I have recently been refactoring code into a base cocoapod for use in multiple projects. One such class is a pretty stereotypical routing enum for Alamofire. It's been working fine up until being moved into the cocoapod... which is now crashing. An example implementation:
public enum Router: URLRequestConvertible {

    static var baseURLString = "http://myserver.com/api"

    case Endpoint1(String, String)
    case Endpoint2(String, String, Date, Date)
    case Endpoint3(String, String)

    public var URLRequest: NSMutableURLRequest {
        var path : String! {
            switch self {
            case .Endpoint1(let id, _):
                return "/endpoint1/" + id
            case .Endpoint2(let id, _, _, _):
                return "/booking/\(id)/thing"
            case .Endpoint3(_, _):
                return "/authenticate"
            }
        }

        var parameters: [String: AnyObject] {
            switch self {
            case .Endpoint2(_, _, let startDate, let endDate):
                let params = ["startDate": startDate, "endDate" : endDate]
                return params
            default:
                let params = [String: AnyObject]()
                return params
            }
        }

        var method :  Alamofire.Method {
            switch self {
            case .Endpoint2:
                return .POST
            default:
                return .GET
            }
        }

        var body : [String : AnyObject]?{
            switch self{
            case .Endpoint3(let email, let password):
                return ["email" : "\(email)", "password" : "\(password)"]
            default:
                return nil
            }
        }

        var header : [String: String]?{
            switch self {
            case .Endpoint1(_, let token):
                return ["x-access-token" : token]
            default:
                return nil
            }
        }

        let URL = NSURL(string: Router.baseURLString)?.URLByAppendingPathComponent(path)
        let request = NSURLRequest(URL: URL!)

        let encoding = Alamofire.ParameterEncoding.URL

        let mutable = (encoding.encode(request, parameters: parameters).0)
        mutable.HTTPMethod = method.rawValue

        if let bodyParams = body{
            mutable.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
            mutable.addJsonArrayToRequestBody(bodyParams)
        }

        if let headerParams = header{
            for param in headerParams{
                mutable.setValue(param.1, forHTTPHeaderField: param.0)
            }
        }

        return mutable
    }
}

The failure line is:
for param in headerParams{

But as it is in a development cocoapod, I can't attach a debugger to that point, nor is the error more than EXEC_BAD_INSTRUCTION, which is less than helpful. How can I further debug what's causing the error?

A: This is a bug in the xcode debugger when using a development cocoapod, the actual error was:
let URL = NSURL(string: Router.baseURLString)?.URLByAppendingPathComponent(path)
The static baseURLString had not yet been set when this method was called, leading the URL to be nil. I have seen multiple occurrences of the debugger pointing out the incorrect line when in the now shared code, not sure how to fix.

Office REIT Highwoods Enjoying Steady Growth
6/19/2015 | By Allen Kenney
Ed Fritsch, president and CEO of Highwoods Properties Inc. (NYSE: HIW), joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview during REITWeek 2015: NAREIT's Investor Forum, held in New York.
Fritsch, who's currently serving as NAREIT's second vice chair, said fundamentals in Highwoods' geographic markets are strong, although he pointed out that growth is measured. He described the market absorption of office space as "steady."
Fritsch also noted that the Southern markets in which Highwoods operates are showing positive demographic trends. For example, GDP growth in that region of the country is projected to outpace the national rate in 2015. Additionally, population growth in the Southeast is projected to top the national average by approximately 35 percent in the next three years.
"It's a good time to be doing what we're doing," he commented. "It's important to say that things aren't robust. Things aren't ramping up at an incline that makes you leery of the inevitable bursting of the bubble. It has just been a very nice cadence as we've come out of this recession."
Fritsch also noted that the cost of living in the South remains attractive.
Regarding Highwoods' prospects for growth through acquisitions, despite pricy valuations, the company has said it intends to continue evaluating deals. Those include potential deals in Highwoods' existing markets and those in adjoining areas, too, according to Fritsch.
"Things are rich, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be in the hunt," he said. Importantly, Fritsch said the company won't buy assets that require "perfection" in the underwriting process.
On the flip side, Highwoods has steadily divested assets in the last 10 years, leading to what Fritsch described as a transformation of the firm's portfolio. The company has sold off "non-core" assets during that period, Fritsch said, but he emphasized that it hasn't made sales specifically to satisfy debt obligations or to deploy for development or acquisitions. Sales have occurred strictly on a "strategic" basis, according to Fritsch.

I'm currently working on a my favorite albums of 2017 list, however I thought I'd first post a playlist of all of my favorite songs of the year. Below is a full mix of over 100 songs that I dug this year. Keep an eye out for my favorite albums of 2017 post to come very soon.


What is true happiness? Many people have asked that question, me included.
Others have found different answers. For me, the answer is in my breathing.
all the seemingly meaningless daily activities. What was the value of living?
Why was I even born? Obviously my life at that time was not a happy one.
But I kept searching for an answer.
One day I took part in an activity of the Buddhist club at the university.
chanted––– and discussed the way it is: Dharma.
entry point for my search, leading me to a better understanding of life.
would be broken. But out of this an important question came to me.
Was I Ever Really Calm?
Of course true happiness occurs independent of external conditions.
would enable me to attain this kind of happiness?
One day I read a sentence. It was just one sentence read in a book!
'Yoga is a science that leads to self discovery'. I grabbed the book.
schools of yoga and each school can lead to self discovery and living happily.
catch our breath etc. We're unaware of the rhythm, how it comes, how it goes.
With yoga the body moves and the breath is in harmony with all the postures.
the body breathing one's thought is cleared, mind calmed and made stable as never before.
Inhaling? Unbelievable! To the palms! To the feet! Then that moment! Body at one with breath. Beyond World! Beyond Self!
I practice yoga everyday, examining my breathing. And believe me, life changes.
think crystal clear. Ponder? I Decide! With no reluctance, without fear as before.
Yoga improves health. I used to be sick and skinny. I used to faint easily, had headaches frequently, and fever. Now when I have a fever I use the breathing practice of Prana, breathing deeper and longer than usual. I have a good night's sleep and wake completely recovered.
I can, I take care of my life. I take care what I eat, of my emotions and my environment. All has to go together. Yoga is not the practice that keeps us clear of all unpleasantness or suffering, all-too-human emotions still occur, but the practice helps us to know , to stay more friendly with them and control them. And if we know ourselves we can understand and avoid causing suffering to others.
I used to fear unpleasantness. I wanted only to encounter things that were beautiful, easy, and comfortable. I would walk in the forest in winter when the forest is most beautiful and the air is sweet. Once I ventured there in the hot and dry season and sweated all over.
I sat and focused on my breathing. My body cooled. The fallen leaves about me I had overlooked before became amazingly beautiful. I noticed that the teak forest and dry mountain before me in the strong summer sunlight were a noble purple.
When I look back on my life, all that has happened are like the seasons. All of it can be appreciated. And because I no longer regret my past I am unafraid of the future.
Now I face the sides of life I used to avoid. I discovered the dry season has its own beauty. Likewise the Dhukka.
More than ten years yoga has been an important part of my life. In that time I have never stopped doing Yoga, never got bored even when I was pregnant. It helps me physically and emotionally.
The gentle practice of watching one's breath and feel body sensations. It can be done anywhere. We are always breathing, in this respect all lives are one. We sit in the same room, this world, and share the Prana.
We share the breath of life.
Yes it's good. Live On Earth. Do Yoga. Enjoy True Happiness That Lasts, That Sustains.

EU Sets a New Limit on Cash Transactions to Curb Financial Crimes
The EU countries have signed an agreement according to which the crypto-service providers must conduct customer due diligence as per updated AML guidelines to ensure stronger control over transactions in the region.
The European Union nations have signed an agreement to set a new limit on cryptocurrency cash purchases, ensuring more substantial control of transactions across the region. The group of countries has approved a limit of 10,000 Euros ($10,557) on all cash payments. Also, the EU has agreed to establish a standard of scrutinising every crypto transaction over 1000 Euros ($1,055) with proper checks and balances.
These requirements are applicable to all EU member states as the bloc has introduced a new set of directives to increase the security of cash crypto transactions. It said that "by limiting large cash payments, the EU will make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money."
According to the new EU guidelines, "All crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) will have to conduct due diligence on their customers. This means they will have to verify facts and information about their customers." It also emphasised adding measures to mitigate the risks of money laundering from self-hosted wallet transactions.
According to Zbynek Stanjura, the Czech Republic Finance Minister, "Large cash payments beyond €10.000 will become impossible. Trying to stay anonymous when buying or selling crypto-assets will become much more difficult."
The measure will be implemented across several areas, such as goldsmithing, jewellery, cultural goods, and trading precious metals and tools. Stanjura added, "Hiding behind multiple layers of ownership of companies won't work anymore. It will even become difficult to launder dirty money via jewellers or goldsmiths."
The new directives aim to protect the EU's financial system against terrorist financing and money laundering.
Stanjura had the following remarks in this regard:
"Terrorists and those who finance them are not welcome in Europe. In order to launder dirty money, criminal individuals and organisations had to look for loopholes in our existing rules, which are already quite strict. But our intention is to close these loopholes further and to apply even stricter rules in all EU member states."
The council will soon initiate the trialogue negotiations with the European Parliament to agree on the final version of the texts.

America's dental health crisis: Modern life causes more tooth decay, and care is increasingly unaffordable

Millions of Americans lack access to oral health care, and vulnerable communities are in desperate need of a solution.
By Mary Otto for Nation of Change
The light of a Friday morning in autumn gently touched the little town: the Farmers and Miners Bank, the grocery store with the hand-lettered signboard advertising sugar on sale, the squat yellow brick courthouse. It was Jonesville, the county seat of Lee County, by many measures the poorest county in Virginia, and the farthest flung, here, in Appalachia. On this day, all attention was focused upon the outskirts, where at the small airport, preparations were under way for a free health clinic, to be held over the weekend.
In a few hours, the first of the patients would start arriving. They would come from the roads and the highways, the nearby towns and the more distant hollows, from southwestern Virginia and Kentucky and farther away. Some barely had the gas money to get to Jonesville. One woman was driving from Tennessee holding her broken glasses to her eyes. The truck with the chest x-ray machine was already parked at one end of the runway. And when the sky cleared a little more, an old airplane would be flying over the mountains, bringing in folding dental chairs and medical equipment and crates of surgical gauze and gloves from Knoxville.
The free clinic was organized by the Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps (RAM), a nonprofit that, since its beginnings in 1985, had headed hundreds of missions and brought medical relief to some of the poorest places on the planet. This would be RAM's first visit to Jonesville. But the health problems in this pocket of Appalachia—the cancers, the diabetes, the ruined joints—were nothing new. The rotten teeth were nothing new. The toothaches were nothing new. In Lee County—remote, isolated, poor—the shortages of all kinds of health care had been a chronic problem. There were not enough primary and mental health care workers. And the shortage of dental providers was most acute.
By federal estimates, roughly 49 million Americans live in communities that have been designated dental professional shortage areas—Lee County is one of them.
And if dentists are in short supply in places such as Lee County, so is the money to pay them. "These are not forgotten people," explained RAM dental director John Osborn, a Knoxville dentist. "The system has passed them up."
Hundreds, sometimes thousands of aching teeth are extracted at these free weekend clinics.
The loss of a tooth to disease may prefigure other losses in life quality. In terms of oral health, complete tooth loss, or edentulism, has been called the "final marker of disease burden." An extraction is emblematic of defeat. The extracted tooth will not grow back. But when routine care is long deferred, when more complex procedures are out of reach or not an option, the extractions serve the urgent need of relieving infection and relieving pain.
The news of the plans for the RAM clinic in Lee County claimed top headlines in the local paper. People talked about it for days in church and at the gas station and in the coffee shop out on the U.S. 58 bypass. On this Friday, at the airport, there was excitement in the air as volunteers worked to set up a sort of field hospital with tents and folding tables. Volunteer doctors and nurses, dentists and hygienists were coming from "out of town." A man with a "Friends of Coal" bumper sticker on his truck arrived with pizzas. Members of the high school football team, the Lee County Generals, who were waiting in their red numbered jerseys to help unload the plane, ate the pizza quietly and hungrily, out by the runway. Then a great deep-throated roar could be heard and everyone looked up to the pale clearing sky.
"Here's the plane!" someone shouted.
The World War II–vintage C-47 cargo plane landed smoothly, then stood there shimmering on the narrow landing strip at the foot of the mountains. RAM's founder, Stan Brock, a lean, charismatic British-born adventurer, greeted the small crowd in his calm, serious way. He was, as always, tan and, as always, dressed in a khaki shirt and pants.
Brock became famous in the 1960s as the anaconda-wrestling co-star of the television program Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. When he started RAM, his original goal was to get health care to the people living in the far-flung, third world places he had visited in his travels. But when he discovered that there were people in desperate need right in the United States, he began organizing clinics much closer to home. (Brock passed away on August 29, 2018, after the publication of this book. He was 82. Remote Area Medical, the organization he founded, is continuing his work.)
Brock told the football players the plane they were seeing was used for the invasion on D-day, that young men about their own age had parachuted out of this very plane on June 6, 1944. "A lot of those young guys didn't make it back," he explained, as the football players listened with a kind of shy attention. Then it was time to get to work. There was a military precision to these operations that Brock had honed over the years that helped convey their urgency. At Brock's direction, the football players began hauling carefully organized crates of supplies out of the plane.
Slowly, methodically, the weekend hospital took shape. Areas were set up for medical tests and exams. Eyeglasses would be provided free of charge. The airport waiting room was transformed into a six-chair dental clinic. By the time the chill of evening fell upon the mountains, a line of cars and pickup trucks had formed on the road coming up to the airport. In the predawn darkness of Saturday, about four hundred people were waiting. Worn-out miners, old farmers, tired homemakers, unemployed workers took their numbers at the gate, wrapped in coats and blankets. Charlton Strader, a retired construction superintendent with tremors and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, said he used to have dental benefits but that he lost them. He said his teeth had started "snapping off and breaking."
"I've got one that bothers me all the time," he said.
Randy Peters, a former miner and mattress factory worker with multiple sclerosis, was also troubled by his teeth. "I've got a couple broken ones and a couple of bad cavities," he said. "It's getting so I can't eat."
Ernest Holdway, a disabled miner, said he came to get a tooth extracted. "It ain't hurting but it will," he predicted. His dental insurance ended when he had to leave the coal mine. Now his teeth were starting to fail him. "I always had good teeth until I started the arthritis medicine," he explained. "Nobody wants to lose their teeth. I've heard it takes years off your life." He said he just finished paying off the $1,500 he'd owed for the extraction of three bad molars, which he was told to get removed before a knee surgery. He was still fighting to save his leg. He showed it. It was fearfully swollen.
"I'm a good person, but I sure have been tested," he said.
By the time the sun was fully up, Jonesville's small downtown was empty. "Everybody is down at RAM getting their teeth pulled," said the waitress at the coffee shop.
Throughout the day, patients emerged from the dental clinic with gauze clenched between their remaining teeth. They took seats in folding chairs underneath a tent to recover, or waited for friends and relatives still receiving services. "I had two pulled," said Emma Marsee, an unemployed nurse. "One had an infection underneath the filling." Marsee's daughter, a waitress, was also in the tent waiting for care. She depended on her smile for her economic security, Marsee said. "It's all about appearance," said Marsee, a striking woman, strawberry blonde with golden eyes. Who wanted a waitress with bad teeth? "If you are not a healthy-looking individual, [customers] don't want that person taking care of [them]."
Everyone in that big tent was struggling.
"It's tough in this area because there are no jobs," said Marsee. Even as people sat in their folding chairs, the behavior of some suggested fatalism, weary self-destruction: the girl with the deeply decaying teeth taking another drink of Coke. A baby with a sippy cup of sweet juice in the arms of a gaunt mother waiting to see a dentist. The woman with the rasping cough, taking a drag from a cigarette.
"Nerves" are a common complaint in this region, research by the Southwest Virginia Graduate Medical Education Consortium found.
"A frequently reported cause of nerves was having too many problems and too few solutions," the authors of a study on the problem found (Southwest Virginia Graduate Medical Education Consortium, "Report to the Virginia State Assembly," January 2008). The consortium concluded that residents of the area were 70 percent more likely to commit suicide than people living elsewhere in the state.
Marsee, too, was familiar with the dark side. "Drug abuse in this area is horrible," she said. It showed in some of the hopeless, drug-blackened teeth.
The area has been poor for a long time, yet people hate to move on. "All your roots are here," said Marsee. "It's hard to leave it." There was the old beauty of the mist-shrouded mountains, the green woods. The love of family, the kindness of neighbors, of strangers.
The teeth flame out when they die. That is a very old kind of pain. The human fossil record bears mute testimony: the ancient Egyptian mummy unearthed with packing in the jaw. The Alaskan incisor, bored with a simple tool sometime between 1300 and 1700 A.D., apparently to relieve an abscess. The tooth of a medieval Dane, with a rosary bead tucked into a cavity (Charlotte Roberts and Keith Manchester, Archaeology of Disease, 82).
Decay is a progressive disease and, unchecked, it results in excruciating pain and tooth loss. Many factors contribute; diet plays a major role. In the very old days, when refined foods were rarer, the toothache was a curse of privilege. When sugar became cheaper, tooth decay, the main cause of toothaches, became more widespread. The habit of sipping sweet sodas has been widely implicated. The steady bath of sugar never allows the teeth to repair and remineralize themselves.
These days, too, hundreds of common over-the-counter and prescription medications taken by millions of Americans make teeth more susceptible to disease.
One of their side effects is dry mouth, a condition that reduces the natural flow of saliva that cleanses and buffers the teeth, helping to protect them from decay. Without fluoride to strengthen the teeth, without enough routine home care, without timely professional care, the disease process progresses.
The excruciating pain of toothache is not rare. Millions of Americans experience toothaches.
Financial factors are the main reason Americans delay getting needed professional dental care, a study by the American Dental Association found.
Private and even public dental benefits can help defray the cost of services.
But in 2014, an estimated 114 million Americans lacked them entirely. While the national health care reform program signed into law in 2010 took significant steps to broaden access to dental services for children, it did less to address the broken system for adults. Even many working adults with private health insurance lack adequate coverage for dental care. While routine preventive visits may be covered, beneficiaries are typically required to pay a percentage of the cost of procedures such as fillings, crowns, root canals, and implants, which can run to hundreds and thousands of dollars. Among U.S. adults who struggled with unpaid medical bills, 12 percent reported dental bills made up the largest share of the bills they had problems paying, a 2015 survey found. "Insurance is not a panacea against these problems," the researchers concluded.
And most people who have dental benefits lose them when they retire. Medicare, the nation's health care program covering roughly 55 million elderly and disabled Americans, does not cover routine dental services.
The dental suffering among many of the more than one million residents of American nursing homes is particularly acute. Since 1987, when federal law set new standards for institutions receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding, nursing homes have been required to provide oral health services. Yet amid the daily cycle of washing, turning, and changing bedridden and disabled patients, simple tooth brushing and denture care have often been overlooked. "Most clinical studies of nursing home residents report widespread inadequate oral hygiene and associated dental, gingival and periodontal conditions," noted the authors of one survey. "Medical and nursing services were almost uniformly provided while dental and mental health services were provided much more infrequently."
Visits by dental professionals are also rare in many institutions. Many of the patients Louisiana dentist Gregory Folse said he has visited on his rounds of nursing homes have not had care in years. When he looks into a new patient's mouth, he is not surprised to find decay, rampant infection, the broken stumps of teeth, and even oral cancers. He is paid a stipend to serve as the dental director for the homes. Most of the patients are covered by Medicaid, but adult dental benefits in the state are extremely scant. Folse estimated he has donated more services than he has billed to Medicaid. He said he travels forty to fifty thousand miles a year through the backwoods and bayous, driving a pickup truck, carrying portable tools and instruments, setting up in nursing home community rooms and beauty parlors, repairing dentures, pulling teeth. "Nine hundred patients with severe gum disease or abscess. Half of my patients. I take everybody that has swelling. Everybody in pain. Everybody that's got loose teeth. And I help them as best I can. With funding, without funding. The family pays some, the nursing homes. Sometimes no one pays. I do it."
Some of the patients suffer from dementia and getting them to open their mouths is a challenge. The work is rewarding, just the same, he said. "I had a patient in a wheelchair. She had a stroke. She was so happy to get her dentures. She reached down and grabbed her purse. She reached inside. She found a piece of bread. 'Here doc. Take it.' I didn't want to take her last piece of bread," said Folse, with a laugh. "No telling how long it had been at the bottom of her purse. We have to give out of being wealthy. She gave to me out of her poverty."
The rate of dental suffering is a grim kind of economic indicator. The poor are more likely to suffer from toothaches. Their oral health is worse and it can be hard to find a dentist who will treat them. The lack of money to pay for care is a major barrier: roughly one in five Americans is covered by Medicaid, the enormous federal-state health care program for the poor. But coverage is no guarantee of access to treatment, as only a minority of dentists see Medicaid patients.
Children are entitled to dental care under Medicaid but often face difficulties obtaining services. Fewer than half of dentists saw any Medicaid patients in the majority of states included in a 2010 study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
A 2016 study by the American Dental Association found that 42 percent of the nation's dentists had registered as Medicaid providers on the program's Insure Kids Now database. But the percentage did not necessarily reflect the percentage of dentists actually participating in the program. "It does not mean you are seeing Medicaid kids. It does not mean you have open appointments," said economist Marko Vujicic, who helped lead the study. "Take it for what it is. It is the best data we have."
The situation is harder for Medicaid's adult beneficiaries. Dental benefits for adults are an optional part of state Medicaid programs. They are among the first line items to end up on budget chopping blocks in times of fiscal austerity.
Toothaches are destroyers of sleep. They make eating painful, working and parenting overwhelming. It is the poor who are most likely to pray to heaven for relief. They turn to drugs, both legal and illegal, and folk remedies. In desperation, some even pull out their own teeth.
Out at the free clinic in Lee County, among the solid, stoic mountain people, Tabitha Hay, with her fragile face and darkly mascaraed eyes, looked like a lost tropical bird, blown off course by a storm. She and her mother-in-law and husband arrived at the clinic after a thirteen-hour drive from Belleview, Florida. They were self-employed. They cleaned houses and took care of pets for well-off retirees. They left after work on Friday evening and drove all night to get to Jonesville. All three of them needed care, but Tabitha, twenty-six, needed it most. She was tormented by a molar, decayed beneath a filling.
"I feel like my jaw is being crushed," she said. "Sometimes the pressure is like it is going to explode. I'm hungry but I can't eat. To sleep I have to put a heating pad on it and nothing takes the pain away." After missing a week of work she tried to get back to the job on the day before the trip.
"I tried to work. I couldn't do anything. I sat in the back seat and cried."
She said a Florida dentist told her the extraction would cost $500. It was money she did not have. She arrived too late to get care at the free clinic on Saturday. She was told she would need to wait until Sunday. As night fell upon the mountains, she bedded down in the red Kia with her husband and mother-in-law to face another night of pain.

The world now knows Olivia Jade as one of the young women at the center of the never-ending college cheating scandal, with her parents — actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli — accused of paying bribes to get her into the University of Southern California. But back in 2018, Jade was just another YouTuber with dreams of launching her very own beauty brand.
As records from the United States Patent and Trademark Office show, back in May 2018, Jade and her team attempted to trademark both "Olivia Jade " and "Olivia Jade Beauty." Records show that Olivia Jade Beauty was initially planning to offer items including brushes and "grooming accessories," but as the application went back and forth between Jade's attorneys and the office, the terms expanded to include everything from cosmetics, like lipgloss and eyelashes, to skin care, including cleansers, lotions, and serums.
"Proper punctuation in identifications is necessary to delineate explicitly each product or service within a list and to avoid ambiguity," the USPTO officials wrote. "Commas, semicolons, and apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used." Officials also noted how terms used in the applications — including "make up kits" with "moisturizer" and "concealer" — are too broad, and need to be further specified.
Both applications have been subjected to similar criticism before, with words like "cosmetic prepares for eyelashes " dinged by the USPTO for being misspelled last August. Now, Jade's team must amend these applications once more within six months. But given how the drama around this scandal continues to unfold, and how both Sephora and Tresemmé have dropped their deals with her, Jade and her team may have a lot more urgent matters on their plate to address before getting back to the USPTO.

Q: Understanding The Getline Function I am trying to understand the way the getline function works.
In the following example, I enter "Hello There!" and use the cin object to take in input from the user. I do this to demonstrate that the cin will stop reading in input after a space is entered by the user.
Below this I am using the getline function to demonstrate the correct way to do this, but don't understand why it outputs the way that it does on the terminal window. Please explain. Thank you.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  string greeting;
  // cout << "Enter \"Hello There!\": ";
  cin >> greeting; // Once the cin object sees a space, it stops. This is why the cin object only grabs the first word.
  cout << "greeting: " << greeting << endl;
  cout << "Enter \"Hello There!\": ";
  getline(cin, greeting);
  cout << "greeting: " << greeting << endl;

  return 0;
}
