hey guys, need some help with a compile error

well this is my first post, and anyway

i started programming in c++ a few months ago never got very far, and ive taken it up again

and im compiling one of my practice programs
and i get errors, btw im using g++ for my linux machine

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
cin > i;
if (i > 10) {
  cout << "The number is greater than 10" << endl;
}
else if (i == 10) {
  cout << "It is equal to 10" << endl;
}
else {
  cout << "It is less than 10" << endl;
}
return 0;
}

and now the error


gateway C++ # g++ secondprog.cpp -o secondprog
secondprog.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':
secondprog.cpp:8: no match for `std::istream& > int&' operator


thanks, and now im gunna go read my c++ for dummies eheh

it should be: cin >> i; not cin > i;

doh! thanks man ill try that out

yeah that worked, i cant believe i overlooked something so obvious :/


thanks alot!
