Invalid operator type of std::istream?


So I'm trying to create a C++ program that reads in a list of numbers(where the user enters a list of 5 numbers separated by spaces) and prints out the reversed list. so far, this is what I have:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
#pragma warning(disable: 4996)

using namespace std;

int* get_Number() { 
int* p = new int[32];
cout << "Please enter a list of 5 numbers, separated by spaces" << endl;
cin >> p;
return p;
};


int* reverseArray(int* numArray)
{

}

My problem is that I keep on getting this error:

Error: no operator ">>" matches these operands. Operand types are: std::istream >> int * 

at the cin >> p line.

What am I doing wrong? I'm new to C++, and any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!


Solution

  • How about this?

    #include <iostream>
    
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
        int nums[5];
    
        std::cout << "Please enter a list of 5 numbers, separated by spaces" << std::endl;
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
            std::cin >> nums[i];
    
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
            std::cout << nums[i];
        return 0;
    }
