The input operator, >>, recognizes operands, such as 
input_buffer, that are pointers to character arrays.  On seeing such 
a pointer, >> reads a string from the input stream up to the first 
whitespace character—space, tab, or carriage return.  Then, the 
input operator deposits that string into the array identified by the 
pointer.


••• Unprocessable paragraph: Suppose, for example, that the expression \code{cin >> input_buffer} is 
evaluated, given an input file in which the next unread characters are 
\code{TPW-E-783}.  The evaluation causes the \code{input_buffer} array to 
look like this: 
\begincode 
    input_buffer
