Simple Code - Stumped on an Error

[dpedroia15]

Hey all. I'm new to C++ and this code I'm working on is my first "project" if you will. It's not complex at all, but I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Every time I try to compile it I get the error: C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp In function `int main()': . Here's the code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{

int a;

cout<< "Please enter a number: ";

cin>> int a;

int b;

cout<< "Please enter another number: ";

cin>> int b;

int c;

int a+int b= int c;

cout<< "The sum of the two numbers you entered is: " << int c << "\n";

return 0
}


The underlined/bolded line is where I'm getting the error. I've googled this and poked around these forums, but I haven't found a fix.

I appreciate all help and tips, thanks.

type variable is only used when declaring the variable. To actually use the variable you simply do variable.
For example,

int a;
std::cin >>a;

Wow, that seems almost to easy.

Thanks.

Also, the variable that is being assigned goes on the left on the assignment operator, so your 11th line could be:
int c = a + b;

your code should be like this. note : you should not redeclare the variables.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{

int a;

cout<< "Please enter a number: ";

cin>>a;

int b;

cout<< "Please enter another number: ";

cin>>b;

int c;

c = a+b;

cout<< "The sum of the two numbers you entered is: " << c << "\n";

system("pause");
}
