#include <iostream>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
std::string name;

std::cout << "Enter your name: ";
std::cin >> name;

std::cout << "Your name is " << name << std::endl;

}

I would use a string variable.

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

int main()
{
string foo;
cout << "Please enter a name: ";
cin >> foo;
cout << "The name you have entered is: " << foo << endl;

return 0;
}

I don't know if your teacher would allow you to use a string or not, but it is probably the best thing for what you want to do.
