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

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   string userInput;
   int stringSize = 0;

   userInput = "Hello"; 
   <STUDENT CODE>

   cout << "Size of userInput: " << stringSize << endl;

   return 0;
}

help! i figured i have to use the function size() but not sure how in this case.

Here is a sample program showing how to use the [m]size()[/m] function:

Code:
// string::size
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main ()
{
  std::string str ("Test string");
  std::cout << "The size of str is " << str.size() << " bytes.\n";
  return 0;
}
