Hi , as you have not provided the full code , i am not aware with your if() condition. but what i am providing you is the complete working of getline() :

C++ code :

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   cout<<" -=| ADDING STUDENT |=-" << endl;
  
   string s_name;               // variable for taking input of student name
  
   cout<<"Please enter the student’s name: ";
  
   // As we know that student name might contain more than one words in it. So , we'll use getline() here
   getline(cin,s_name);           // getline() is used for taking input of string which contains more than one words
  
   cout<<"Student Name = "<<s_name<<"\n";

//   if(g.add_std(s_name))
//   cout<<"\n"<<s_name<<" was successfully added to the gradebook!";
//   else
//   cout<<"\nStudents cannot be added because the gradebook is full!";
//   break;

}

Output :

Note : For printing the first name and last name of the student , please split the s_name at 'space' , then you could easily print first name and last name.

if you still face any issue or need any other clarifications , please comment. I will help you for the same.
