How to enter characters in the program?

Question

I was trying to enter some characters and looks like it does not work. so if someone can help me:)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

char name;
int age;

int main ( )
{
cout << "Please enter your name" << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << "Please enter your age" << endl;
cin >> age;

cout << "Your name is " << name << " and your age is " << age << endl;

return 0;

}
it tells me that the name is 0 and age doesn't ask me and just enters a 0
what am I doing wrong??
