Answer 3

Standard input (cin) In most program environments, the standard input by default is the keyboard, and the C++stream object defined to access it iscin . For formatted input operations,cin is used together with the extraction operator, which is written as >> (i.e., two "greater than" signs)

Answer 4

Cin is used to take an input from the user, it is most commonly used with cout as this could be a code to take a number from the person using the program
Int a;
cout << “please enter a number”;
Cin >> a;
This is a program that will wait for a user to input a number and stores that number in variable a.
