C++ User Input

You have already learned that cout is used to output (print) values. Now we will use cin to get user input.

cin is a predefined variable that reads data from the keyboard with the extraction operator (>>).

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int x;
  cout << "Type a number: "; // Type a number and press enter
  cin >> x; // Get user input from the keyboard
  cout << "Your number is: " << x;
  return 0;
}
 

Output:

Type a number: [Type number with your keyboard]

OUTPUT: [YOUR TYPED NUMBER]

cout is pronounced "see-out". Used for output, and uses the insertion operator (<<)

cin is pronounced "see-in". Used for input, and uses the extraction operator (>>)
