    try this:

    PHP Code:
    #include <iostream>

    void main()
    {
      
    int i;
      
    cin >> i;
      
    cout << "The value of variable i is: " << << endl;
      
    cin >> "what";

    Never end on learning~

    here its using scanf(), printf()

    Code:
    include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(){
    
    int myInt;
    printf("enter an integer");
    scanf("%d",&myInt);
    printf("you entered %d",myInt);
    return 0;
    }
    Programming is a high logical enjoyable art for both programer and user !!

    If you are programming in C++ then use cin and cout,
    otherwise use fgets and printf (try to avoid the scanf function).

    My mother always told me... scanf is bad..... very bad.

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    
    int myInt;
    cout << "enter an integer";
    cin >> myInt;
    cout << "you entered " << myInt;
    return 0;
    }
    This way it will work with cin and cout. It's very simple.
