Why isn't this code working ?

Question

Constructive criticism is accepted. This code isn't working does anyone have an explanation. I ran the code in Code::Blocks

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void crappyPrint() {
signed int x;
cin >> "What is your name ? " >> x >> endl;
}

int main()
{
cout << "Your name is ";
crappyPrint();
return 0;
}
If you want the build log, Just ask :)

Answer 1

cin is solely used for console input, and has to be followed by a variable. You should do it this way:

cout << "What is your name?" << endl;
cin >> x;

// P.S. Burn Code::Blocks.

@Hasty Rei I thought so but I saw something like that somewhere else(Eclipse)

Answer 5

Don't forget to use char array or string for Name variable

Answer 6

:0 it should be char x[ ], you cannot take alphabets in a numerical variable...and you have to take an array as well...
