How can I use variable to input a word (bunch of alphabet letter)

Hi! I want to ask. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ int main () { int m, s, h, e, i ,q, t, z ,k; int name; cout << "Name : "; cin >> name; cout << "Math : "; cin >> m; ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ When I input a word in name variable (ex : Adam) it comes to error so i can't input the next variable type. What variable should I used to replace (int) so I can input a word (real word, not number) Thank You! Your help will fully appreciated.

"name" variable in your program is of integer type, and the name you are going to enter would be a string ( collection of characters ) You can either use an array of characters to store that name char name [10] std::cin >> name Or More preferably use "string" class defined in c++'s standard library. // Make sure to include <string> header before std::string name; std::cin >> name;

You tagged css, but this is obviously not css. Pls correct the tag for the actual language. This is needed for you to get a correct answer.

Besides following Arsenic correct answer, did you do the string lessons of the C++ course?
