Someone help me please =(

[WoW Sucks]

Ok, well i started learning C++ yesterday and i was doing fine untill i started a text game, which went wrong =(

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



void main()
{
	char name;

	cout << "Welcome To The Adventure Text Game" << "\n";

	cout << "Please Choose a name: " << name;
	cin >> name;

		cout << name << "\n";



}

This is what happens when i compile it:

How can i make those stupid characters go away, and make it print the name you insert?

Thanks.

You tried to display a character before it was defined by the user (see commented out part) ;P

Printing a 'garbage value', as stated by K&R.
