Can anyone tell me why this code isnt working?

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int yourScore;
cout << " Please input your score\n";
cin << yourScore;

if (yourScore >69) {
cout << " you passed.\n";
}
else {
cout << " you failed.\n";
}
return 0;

}

I'm very new at this and i can't seem to figure this out. Every time I run it the console says compiler error.

Answer 1

check your cin

the arrows should point into the variable
cin >> yourScore;

when in doubt, ask yourself:
do i need to put data into (>>) or get the data from (<<)

Answer 2

Chage cin << yourScore to cin >> yourScore

Answer 3

Because after cin you have use << instead it use >>...
