CppCin

(C++) cin

Meaning 'Console In', as opposite of cout. Can be used get input from the user.

Note that std::cin is not always intuitive to work with as a newbie (see e.g. the example). You might want to use std::getline instead.

Example

  1. include <iostream>
int main() { std::cout << "Please type an integer value" << std::endl; int value = 0; std::cin >> value; std::cout << "You typed: " << value << std::endl; std::cout << "Please enter character to exit program" << std::endl; std::cin.clear(); //First clear std::cin std::cin.get(); std::cin.get(); //Yes indeed! This method is needed TWICE! }
