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; 
  // cin with strings
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;
  cout << "What's your name? ";
  getline (cin, mystr);
  cout << "Hello " << mystr << ".\n";
  cout << "What is your favorite team? ";
  getline (cin, mystr);
  cout << "I like " << mystr << " too!\n";
  return 0;
}
