ambiguous overload for ‘operator>>’ in ‘std::cin >>

[SmOgER]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int turis(int l=1, int w=1, int h=1);
int main()
{
int l;
 cout << "turis(l)";
 cin >> turis (l);
 cout << volume();
}
int turis(int l, int w, int h){


return l*w*h;


}

Was watching some bucky's tutorials. He basically was showing here passing values of variables to function by cout << turis(5,4), what I wanna do is to make user input those values in compiled cmd, not in the source code itself... What's ther proper code standing for it?

lets say we have a function to add two numbers together.

int addTwo(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b
}

To have the user input the 2 numbers to add we would do something like this.

int numberOne;
int numberTwo;
int total;

cout << "Enter Number One: ";
cin >> numberOne;

cout << "Enter Number Two: ";
cin >> numberTwo;

// This is the function to add them notice how we use the variables that stored
// The users input.
total = addTwo(numberOne, numberTwo);

That should show you the basic's how how to use user input int a function. Obviously there is many different and more advanced ways, but I'm not sure if you are ready for them yet. Just keep on learning and practicing. Also I would recommend maybe using some other resources to study C++ along with Bucky's video's (Personally I don't think they are good). You could use the tutorial here or just do a search for good beginner C++ tutorials/books and you should get many threads on the subject.

Nevermnind, figured it out myself.

 #include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int turis(int l=1, int w=1, int h=1);
int main()
{
int a, b, c;
    cout << "length: ";
    cin >> a;

    cout << "width: ";
    cin >> b;

    cout << "height: ";
    cin >> c;

    cout << turis(a, b, c);
}
int turis(int l, int w, int h){

    return l*w*h;
}

PS. What's the point of 3rd variable "total" in your code?
total = addTwo(numberOne, numberTwo);

Its storing the result for later use in a variable. Otherwise the result will just disappear after the statement which calls the function.
