To determine the size of a string in C++, the `size()` function is utilized. In the provided sample program, the goal is to assign the size of the `userInput` string to the variable `stringSize`. The correct implementation involves calling `userInput.size()` to get the length of the string. The example shows that if `userInput` is set to "Hello", the output will be "Size of userInput: 5". The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding how to use the `size()` method correctly within the context of string manipulation in C++.

Assign the size of userInput to stringSize. Ex: if userInput = "Hello", output is:
Size of userInput: 5Sample program:

   return 0;
}
