confused about order I should use cin.get or cin.peek to get something from the cin stream

Hi I am trying to read from the cin stream and gather all words, chars, and ints, in order to store them in a unordered_map, but I am having trouble with the operation of knowing what is stored from cin.get and gathering the data in general

You need cin.get(), because cin.peek() returns the next character that can be extracted, it doesnt move the marker

How can i detect certain characters like \n and \t or whitespace

[pale vault]

You can do a comparison, or better yet you can use std::isspace(char) which returns bool, signaling if the character passed is a newline, tab or other sort of whitespace.
