One of the first Stroustrup exemples in his book Principles and practices using C++ reads as follows:
// read name and age (2nd version)
int main()
{
cout << "Please enter your first name and age\n";
string first_name = "???"; // string variable
// ("???” means “don’t know the name”)
int age = –1; // integer variable (–1 means “don’t know the age”)
cin >> first_name >> age; // read a string followed by an integer
cout << "Hello, " << first_name << " (age " << age << ")\n";
}
The book says that by typing 22 Carlos I would get as output Hello, 22 (age -1), but, independent of initial value I always get a zero.
ps: Aside from this the program works as intended.
