No match for operator!

[cbennett926]

Hello, I am new to C++ but I program in Python. I am getting a really weird error saying that there is no match for an operator for cin.

here is my code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    int i;
    cout << "Please enter an integer value: ";
    cin << i;
    cout << "you entered " << i;
}

[CosminNTG]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{
    int i;
    cout << "Please enter an integer value: ";
    cin>>i;
    cout << "you entered " << i;
}

Line 10: cin<<i; is not correct. It has to be cin>>i;

As CosminNTG said, the extraction operator follows the object cin.

Best of luck,
Robert

Does it matter if there is a space between cin<<i; or could I put cin << i; ?

Nope. You could do this, if you wanted too.

int main ()
{
	std::cin      >>      i;
	
	// Or even
	std::cout <<
	"I am connected to the insertion opertator.\n";
	
	cin.ingore();
	return 0;
}
