Hi Zelda X You are trying to store a string (i.e., a word, phase, etc) in a variable that accepts single characters, the char type. To accomplish what you want try this: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string name; cout << "Enter your Name:"; cin >> name; cout << "\nWelcome, " << name; return 0; }

But i’m confused why i can’t use this, instead of cout<<! printf(“\nWelcome”,name);

Hi Zelda X You can, but please notice that printf() and scanf() are function from the C Standard Library "stdio.h" and not from the C++ "iostream". If you want to use printf(), the syntax would be something like: printf("\nWelcome, %s\n", name); But please notice that the type "string" does not exist in C. You should convert the C++ string to a C char array.
