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 ( >> ).

In the following example, the user can input a number, which is stored in the variable x . Then we
print the value of x :

Example

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; // Display the input value

Run example »

Good To Know
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 ( >> )

In this example, the user must input two numbers. Then we print the sum by calculating (adding) the
two numbers:

Example

int x, y;
int sum;
cout << "Type a number: ";
cin >> x;
cout << "Type another number: ";
cin >> y;
sum = x + y;
cout << "Sum is: " << sum;

Run example »

There you go! You just built a basic calculator!

Complete <iostream> Reference


Tip: Both cin and cout belongs to the <iostream> library, which is short for standard input /
output streams. For a complete reference of <iostream> objects along with detailed information, go to
our C++ iostream Reference.
