noob needs some help

[tloc]

hello i am new to c++ and need some help on this code i want the user to choose an operator but can't figure how to do that the rest i think i got any help would be appreciated or sugestions.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int num1,num2;
    
	
	cout<< "Enter 2 integers:"<<endl;
	cin >> num1>>num2;
	cout<< "enter operator: + (addition),-(subtraction),* (multiplication),/(division):"<<endl;
	cin >>  +-* /;
      
    cout << "Sum is " << (num1 + num2) << endl;
    cout << "Quotient is " << (num1 / num2) << endl;
	cout << "Remainder is " << (num1 % num2) << endl;
    cout<< "product is " << (num1 * num2) << endl;
	return 0;

}

cin >> +-* /; this is just wrong, you can't read a given value into an operator.
something like this might do the trick: (hasn't been tested, not even compiled)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
             int num1,num2;    // numbers to operate on
             char operator[2]; // make room for operator plus <cr>
	
             cout << "Enter 2 integers:"<<endl;
             cin >> num1 >> num2;
             cout << "enter operator: + (addition),-(subtraction),* (multiplication),/(division), %(remainder):" << endl;
             cin.getline(operator, 2, '\n' );
             switch((int)operator[0])
             {
                 case '+':
                      cout << "Sum is " << (num1 + num2) << endl;
                     break;
                 case '/':
                      cout << "Quotient is " << (num1 / num2) << endl;
                 case '%':
                      cout << "Remainder is " << (num1 % num2) << endl;
                      break;
                 case '*':
                      cout<< "product is " << (num1 * num2) << endl;
                      break;
                 default:
                       cout << "Don't know how to use operator " << operator << endl;
              }
	return 0;
}

Basically this:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int num1,num2;    // numbers to operate on
  char Operator;
  cout << "Enter 2 integers:"<<endl;
  cin >> num1 >> num2;
  cout << "enter operator: + (addition),-(subtraction),* \

    (multiplication),/(division), %(remainder):" << endl;

  cin>>Operator;
  switch(Operator)
  {
    case '+':
    cout << "Sum is " << (num1 + num2) << endl;  break;
    case '/':
    cout << "Quotient is " << (num1 / num2) << endl; break;
    case '%':
    cout << "Remainder is " << (num1 % num2) << endl; break;
    case '*':
    cout<< "product is " << (num1 * num2) << endl; break;
    default:
    cout << "Don't know how to use operator " << Operator << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}
