Simple prompt, but without using standard namespace.

nonStdConvo.cpp

#include<iostream>

std::string prompt_user(std::string input_prompt){
  std::string reply;
  std::cout << input_prompt << std::endl;
  //std::getline(std::cin, reply);
  std::cin >> reply;
  return reply;
};

int main(){
  std::string response = prompt_user("How are you doing today?");
  std::cout << "You said: " << response << std::endl;
  response = prompt_user("Is it your birthday?");
  std::cout << "You said: " << response << std::endl;
  return 0;
};
