int main()
{
    char input[256];
    cout << "Insert name: ";
    cin.getline(input,256);
    cout << "\nYou name is " << (int)strlen(input) << " characters long.\n";
    cin.ignore();
    return 0;
}

we prefer to use strings with getline but there we go, it's a much more reliable solution since you don't have to worry about size

string test;
getline(cin, test);
cout << test.length();
