My first attempt with cin and strings

valek (6)
So, I am currently messing around with "cin" and I'd like to be able to take input from users and properly display it back. To me this seemed simple enough but when I attempted this I got some weird errors that don't make any sense. Perhaps one of you guys could look at this and tell me what I did wrong.. I am pretty new at this and programming in general so be gentle with me ;)

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;

	  cout << "On a scale of 1 to 10 how cool am i?";
	  getline (cin,mystr);
      stringstream(mystr) >> rating;
	  cout << "You said:" << rating << endl << "I think you are actually a 500 on the coolness scale";
  system("pause");
  return 0;
}

You haven't declared the rating variable. Add int rating;
