Programmer
#include<iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
//program goes here
return 0; //ends program
}
to output a line, use cout with the "stream insertion" operatror:
cout << "this is the line I am outputting. ";
to get user input, use cin and the "stream extraction" operator:
int yourVariable;
cin >> yourVariable; //loads input into yourVariable
Of note is that cout can output a wide variety of "cascaded" variables one at a time like this:
cout << "This: " << yourVariable << " is your variable." << endl;
//where endl dumps text onto the screen (unloads buffer)
// and starts on a new line
If "yourVariable" is, say, 4, the above line will output:
This: 4 is your variable.
So anyway, to relate this all to your question, use cout to ask for integers, cin to load them into variables, assign the sum of the numbers to a variable:
variable3 = variable1 + variable2; //there are other, more
//complicated ways to do this.
then use cout to print the result.
Need to know anything else?
