hoe to take input in c++ code example

Example: C++ user input

int x; 
cout << "hurry, give me a number!: "; // Type a number and press enter
cin >> x; // Get user input from the keyboard
cout << "you picked: " << x << " !" // Display the input value

OR use:
getline >> (cin, variable-name);
instead of 
cin >> x;
