User Input Variables

Question

so i went to coding playground and tried the code

int main ()
{
int a;
cout <<"please enter number"/n
cin>> a;
return 0
}

when you enter the number and go to run.....
it gives me other numbers on the output.... why?

Answer 1

Your code has a few errors, we cannot help if you don't give us a copied form of the code you tried. As of right now you have missing semicolons and don't output anything.

Answer 2

It should be
cout<<"please enter number\n";
You have missed ;
And written \n outside the cotation
