here is the code

why have you decided to use

    cin>>s;
    cin.ignore();

?

reading input from the console and storing it in s
ignoring leftover input in the buffer (in this situation I assume it is interpreting your first word as said input)

if you do have 10 characters of leftover input from something then that may make sense but just for taking input with nothing else to interfere

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    char s[40];
    cin.getline(s, 40, '?');
    cout << s;
    return 0;
}

should be fine
