Getting
Data Into Programs
•An advantage of programs is that they can be run many times using
different sets of data.
•A program must have some way of reading the data (this is called
input).
•An input stream is an endless sequence of characters coming into your
program.
•cin is associated with the standard input device (keyboard). It has the
extraction operator >>.
•The extraction operator >> takes two operands, cin and a variable.
