It is used for input , like if you want a number from user then you can use cin. #include <iostream> #include<string.h> using namespace std; int main() { char name[30]; cout<<"Enter the name:"; cin>>name; return 0; }

To execute or run a program,you need input,sometimes input is given by default during coding time. for eg: int x=10; cout<<x; //to print x on the output screen But sometimes the user using it need to enter the value,then cin is used for that purpose! int x; cout<<"enter x"<<endl; cin>>x; /*any int value can be entered here unlike the above example, where it only takes 10*\ cout<<x;

Cin takes input from console and store it in the variable.
