Im new to C++, and need help.

[BladeRunner1024]

I am very very new to C++ and need some help with this code.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int name;
    cout << "Whats your name?";
    cin >> name;
    
    int final;
    cout << "You're:" << name << endl;

    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Since I am new, I am trying to make this tell you your name, however it outputs random numbers. Help?

Use main() for this program.

Also, name is an string, not an integer. There for instead if int name; put string name;.

You don't need int final because it is a waste of space and your program takes up un-needed memory. It is like drawing a box and not using it and it takes up space in your attic.

Also, you don't need return EXIT_SUCCESS because the program is already done.

Finally, make sure you put endl; at the end of your c-outs so a line is skipped and your program looks neater and user-friendly. cout<<"What is your name?"<<endl;

So here is the final code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

main()
{
     string name;
     
     cout<<"What is your name?"<<endl;
     cin>>name;
     cout<<"You name is: "<<name<<endl;
     system ("PAUSE");
}

Also, if you go to the documents on this website, they teach you how to use functions, etc... it help a lot.

Thanks! This question was pretty stupid, I am going to assume. Thanks!

No, when everyone started, they were on the level you are on now. Just keep plowing ahead and good luck!
