Thread: cin to int

Hello. I'm going back over some C++ stuff. The following program is the usual way I might get user input into a private member of a class.

Code:

#include <iostream>

class Account {
private:
    int a{ 0 };

public:
    Account() {}
    void setA(int a) {
        Account::a = a;
    }
    int getA() {
        return a;
    }
};

int main() {

    Account p;
    
    std::cout << "Enter int: ";
    int copy;
    std::cin >> copy;
    p.setA(copy);
}

I would like to avoid creating the copy variable though. It seems to me like it is a wasted step when I should be able to just put cin strait into the set function. I know the reason why I can't is that the data from cin is a stream which needs to be converted into an int. Is it possible to do this without creating a variable to do only this?

Code:

int main() {

    Account p;
    
    std::cout << "Enter int: ";
    p.setA(std::cin.toInt);
}
