Okay, i've only just started learning programming yesterday.

After reading a few articles and tutorials on your site I have myself a compiler (Bloodshed DevC++) and an idea.

I want to make a simple wages calculator, where you enter your hours worked and then your hourly rate, the programme multiplys these together and gives you your wages.

I have got this far:

Code:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Wages Calculator Version 0.1.1 by Richard Longstaff";
    
    cin.ignore();
    
    int thisisthehours;
    
    cout<<"Please enter your hours: ";
    cin>> thisisthehours;
    cin.ignore();
    
    int thisistherate;
    
    cout<<"Please enter your hourly rate: ";
    cin>> thisistherate;
    cin.ignore();
    
    int thisisthewages;
    
    ;thisisthewages = thisisthehours * thisistherate;
    cout<<"Your wages are: "<< thisisthewages <<"\n";
    cin.get();
}
But I noticed when i run the programme I have to press enter at the beginning after the title to start the programme.

How can i make it so that it goes straight into asking your hours?

I realise this question probably sounds pretty elemental to most of you, and I'm sorry if its too obvious an answer.

Any help greatly appreciated.
