break statement in c++ by pressing enter

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n,t=0,k=0;
    cin>>n;
    char data[n][100];
    int num[n];
    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    while(1)
    {
        cin>>data[i][t];
        cout<<data[i][t]<<endl;
        if(data[i][t]=='\n') break;
        k++;
        if(k%2==1) t++;
    }
    cout<<i;
    num[i]=(t-2)/2;
    k=0;
t=0;
 }

    for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        while(1)
        {
            cout<<data[i][t];
            if(t==num[i]) break;
            t++;
        }
        t=0;
    }
}

here is the code I have written in c++ which gives the even numbered characters from the starting half of every word given by the user but when giving input after pressing enter the loop should break but the loop is not breaking

while(1)
{
    cin>>data[i][t];
    cout<<data[i][t]<<endl;
    if(data[i][t]=='\n') break;
    k++;
    if(k%2==1) t++;
}

By default formatted input using the "input" operators >> skip white-space, and newline is a white-space character. So what's happening is that the >> operator simply waits for some non-white-space input to be entered.

To tell the input to not skip white-space you have to use the std::noskipws manipulator:

cin>>noskipws>>data[i][t];
