When you use scanf() you must give a pointer to it. When you use scanf("%d", a[i]+1) it means that you are using 1-based indexing, So the your string is starting from index 1(not 0).

    Can I do the same with strings, what I mean is:

    string st; cin >> (st + 1);

    I know it is does not work but is there any way to do this?
