This will prompt the user to enter their age and name, and then assign those values to the variables userAge and userName. Then, you can simply output the variables in the desired format. In summary, to get a user's information and display it, you should use the function GetUserInfo and output the user's name and age in the correct format.

I am not sure if should i use a for loop or if statement...may anyone give me a hint what i am suppose to do?Use function GetUserInfo to get a user's information. If user enters 20 and Holly, sample program output is:

Holly is 20 years old.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void GetUserInfo(int& userAge, string& userName) {
   cout << "Enter your age: " << endl;
   cin >> userAge;
   cout << "Enter your name: " << endl;
   cin >> userName;
   return;
}
int main() {
   int userAge = 0;
   string userName = "";
   /* Your solution goes here  */
   
   cout << userName << " is " << userAge << " years old." << endl;
   return 0;
}
Testing with inputs 20 and Holly
Expected output: Holly is 20 years old.
Your output: is 0 years old.
