Let's use the cin statement to take user input from the terminal.

We'll cover the following

Problem Statement

Let's suppose you work in a hospital management system, and you have been given a task to input patient data to keep records for the doctor to review. Your job is to take the following variable values associated with the user:

  1. Patient name

  2. Patient age

  3. Patient contact

Expected output

You need to write a code that prompts the user to enter all of these values, save them as variables, and print their output in a presentable way. You have to identify the datatype of variables and correct formatting for printing the output. The output should look like this:

The patient name is: John Doe
Their age is: 39
Their contact number is:  0298938948

Coding challenge

You can test your code in the following code playground:

Press + to interact
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
  // your code goes here
  return 0;
}
