Input to an addition problem

So I just started out with C++ and using Visual C++ Express 2008 and I am following the starter tutorials on the site and one the second lesson. I would rewrite the code and change it so I can make sure I know. But I am completly stuck on one thing, I know that this was not in the lesson, but I tried it anyway and it failed, but I won't go on until I know this.

I want to put the input for an answer of a + b, but I am not sure how to put. I knew cin<< a + b; wouldn't work but I tried anyways. Anyone can help me, or if you think is better and I should see a specific lesson.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        int a , b, c, d;

        cout<<"I am going to test you! Just put random numbers, don't fail now!";
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Your first number: ";
        cin>> a;
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Your second number: ";
        cin>> b;
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Your third number: ";
        cin>> c;
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Your forth number: ";
        cin>> d;
        cin.ignore();
        cout<<"Q1 - What is "<< a <<" plus "<< b <<"\n";
        cin>> a + b ;
        if ( a + b == a + b ) {
                cout<<"Good, next question.";
        }
        else { cout<<"You FAILED, NOW GTFO!!";
        }
        cin.get();
}

The code is not done for sure.

Store the user's answer in a variable, then compare that variable to a + b.

OK, so just why did you think a + b would work?
Normally, wouldn't you just store the result of an addition in another variable?
Like

int APlusB;
cin >> APlusB;

Hm?

I am not sure why, I guess I am a stupid newbie, =]
But I guess I wanted to do one without a variable, but I guess that that is impossible, thanks!

Ok, sorry for the double post, but is there a way to terminate the program if the user gets the wrong answer.

And soon as the main function ends, the program terminates, so just exiting the function will terminate the program. To return from a function, you can use the return statement.
Next you just have to incorporate it into your logic.
