Beginning to learn C++ need help coding

[millerme]

I would like to know the definitions of cout and cin and what they do and mean and also just how to code things and make them understandable for me to use in my own programs. Any comment or tip is appreciated a ton. Thanks

Have you read the http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ ? cin is an istream and cout, cerr, and clog are ostreams. They are defined differently depending on your platform.

ya I have been going on the website www.learncpp.com for their tutorials. I just need help on simple beginning coding. I think once I get the basics down I can start moving forward.

You can read cout and cin as "console output" and "console input".
And forget about tutorials. If you seriously want to learn C++, you should get a good book such as the C++ Primer.

I think you should go easy on yourself. follow the books or tutorials on cout/cin, and if you have any questions, ask specific ones. because the other way, trying to learn everything available for cout/cin is like trying to get a ticket for a bus and wondering its engine power, pressure on its tires etc.

Alright thanks a ton, ya I was looking at books online for C++, I probably should get one.
