Qtcreator won't calculate correctly

I have the following console program on qtcreator 4.7.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int a;
    int b;
    int result = a * b;
 
cout<<"Enter a";
cin>>a;
 
cout<<"Enter b";
cin>>b;
 
cout<<"You entered"<<a<<"and you entered"<<b<<"Their product is"<<result<<endl;
cout << "Press any key to exit..." << endl;
system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

---

When i input 5 and 9,i get You entered5and you entered9Their product is-2009147472

why am i not getting 45?.

Hm, that's just a guess, but maybe you should calculate the result after the user has entered the numbers...

Thanks,that was the problem.

Code:

---

cout<<"Enter a";
cin>>a;
 
cout<<"Enter b";
cin>>b;
 
int result = a * b;

---

worked.

This question has precisely nothing to do with either Qt or Qt creator.

For future reference, the language you are writing code in is called C++.
