Study Notes

The cin Object

cin is the standard input object in C++.
cin requires the iostream file to function.
cin is used to read input from the keyboard.
cin is often used with cout to display a user prompt before reading input.
The stream extraction operator (>>), is used to retrieve data from cin.
Input data is stored in one or more variables.

How cin Works

User input goes from the keyboard to the input buffer, where it is stored as characters.
cin converts the input data to the type that matches the variable.

Using cin for Multiple Values

cin can be used to input multiple values at once.
Multiple values must be separated by spaces or the Enter key.
The Enter key must be pressed after typing the last value.
Multiple values can be of different data types.
The order of input is important, with the first value entered being stored in the first variable, and so on.

Mathematical Expressions

A mathematical expression is something that can be evaluated to produce a value.
