When you prompt someone for their name, they are more likely to enter Patrick then they are 6. Your program can't handle that since you made name as an int. Make the type of your name variable something suitable for the purpose. You might use std::string. Of course if you do that, you will also have to include the appropriate header file. If you don't know what that is, you can find it in the documentation.

It is more usual to prompt for the name before the age. It doesn't make a difference to the program, but it would fit better with what more users expect.

when i compile i get an error saying that : no operator found which takes a right hand operand of type std::string (or there is no acceptable conversation )

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int age = 0;
string name =" ";
cout << "What is your name ?" << endl;
cin >> name;
cout <<" How old are you ?" <<endl;
cin="">> age;
cout <<"your name is: " << name <<" \n " << endl;
cout << "and you are : " << age << " old !" << endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;

Solution 2

do not declare integer if you try to input string toinks!!!!
try this

int main()
{
int age=0;
string name="";
cout << "What is your name ?" <<endl;
cin>> name;
cout << "how old are you ?" <<endl;
cin>> age;
cout << "Your name is:" << name << "\n" <
