In our second exercise we moved on to inputting text and printout out the results. The code below asks you for your name and then says hello :)

Open your preferred text editor, input the text in bold below and then save it as name.cpp

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()

{

     string name;

     cout << "Enter your name: " ;

     cin >> name;

     cout << "Hello "<< name << endl;

     return 0;

}

Now in the terminal type:

$ g++ name.cpp -o name

You should now be able to run your newly written program with the command:

$ ./name

Enjoy!
