Thread: Ignoring assignment

In the given program, value of x does not change as per input given by user. It assigns x= 2 automatically and prints the same. What is the reason ?

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
template <class vt>
 
    
void combio(char *message,vt x)
{
    
     cout << message;
     cin >> x;
    
}

int main()
{
   int x;
   
   combio<int>("please enter a value",x);
    cout << x;



    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}
