I think my code::blocks compiler is messed up...

[howellj8]

Here is my code. It is a very simple input two numbers and have them added together. My problem is that when I enter in numbers the output is always some crazy large number.
for instance I input 2 and 2, respectively and I got an output of
-506745 the first time
and then when I run it again I input the same two numbers and it spit out this output: 54114125

I have no idea what is going on. Can anyone help?


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int num1;
int num2;
int addNum = num1 + num2;

cout << "Enter a value to be multiplied: \n";
cin >> num1;

cout <<"Enter another value to be multiplied: \n";
cin >> num2;

cout <<"The sum of these two numbers is " << addNum << endl;

You compute addNum BEFORE asking the user for the value of num1 and num2.

PLEASE USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.
It makes it easier to read your code and also easier to respond to your post.

Thank you a lot.
I can't believe I made that stupid mistake.
I started learning C++ a while ago and then stopped and started learning Python since it is a powerful and easier language to learn. but now I am about to start taking my first Intro to C++ course online this summer so I am just now getting back into brushing up on everything. So thanks a lot!

also I am very new to this whole forum thing so I will definitely check out that link and make sure to use my code tags next time to make it easier for you guys to read. Thanks again!
