Variables

I'm using VC+ 2010 Express. I didn't install anything else. I want to make console program which makes variable. Code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

string varName
string varValue

int main () {
cout << "Write in variable's name" << endl;
cin >> varName;
cout << "Write in variable's value" << endl;
cin >> varValue;
var varName = varValue;
}

Is something like this possible?
If you don't understand what i sayed please ask a question.
No, that's not possible. C++ is not a reflexive language.

Why do you want to do this?
While it's not possible as described by the OP, it's fairly easy to approximate it:

1
2
3
4
5

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
#include <map>


typedef std::map<std::string, std::string> map_type ;

bool continueAdding()
{
    std::string answer ;
    do
    {
        std::cout << "Continue entering variables? " ;
        std::cin >> answer ;
    } while ( answer.length()==0 || 
            (!(std::tolower(answer[0]) == 'n' || std::tolower(answer[0]) == 'y')) );

    return std::tolower(answer[0]) == 'y' ;
}

void addVars(map_type& vars)
{
    std::string name, value ;

    do 
    {
        std::cout << "Variable's name: " ;
        std::cin >> name ;

        std::cout << name << "'s value: " ;
        std::cin >> value ;

        vars[name] = value ;
    } while ( continueAdding() ) ;
}

void printVars(const map_type& vars)
{
    map_type::const_iterator it = vars.cbegin() ;

    while ( it != vars.cend() )
    {
        std::cout << it->first << ": " << it->second << '\n' ;
        ++it ;
    }
}

int main()
{
    map_type userVariables ;

    addVars(userVariables) ;
    printVars(userVariables) ;
}
Yeah, I was thinking of a map. That's why I asked the OP why they wanted to do this, to see if a map would be suitable.
