    But you should probably get a book, because they explain all this in great detail.
    There's a good thread that has many suggestions for books.
    Oh, I know what "cin" is. But it's the dot (.) after the cin that's confusing? Is it a class? Like in CSS?

    Yes, it's a class.
    But C++ is nothing like CSS. It's not good to compare the two.

    No, it's an object, not a class.

    An instance of a class, then.

    Get a book. C++ is a complex language.
    There's many of them in the recommended book thread. Some are available online.
