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

Question

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.

Answer 1

"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;
