Debug variables not showing correct values [message #1827378]

When I run the following program, I can enter a number and it outputs the same number back. However, when I run the code in Debug mode, the value of 'a' is always 44, regardless if I entered anything in the console or not. The debugger also thinks that a is 44 since it runs the code inside the if statement.

The strange thing is that when I run the program normally, there are no issues and I get the correct output. Is there any way to fix this?

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int a;
cin >> a;
cout << a;

if (a == 44) {
cout << "test"; // debugger goes to this line
}

return 0;
}

The debugger doesn't think anything.
It reports what the program does.
I ran your code and got the expected output.

Debugging and typed in "4321\n" and got

!!!Hello World!!!
4321
4321

Running and typing "5467\n":

!!!Hello World!!!
5467
5467

//#include <iostream>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << endl; // prints !!!Hello World!!!

	int a;
	cin >> a;
	cout << a;

	if (a == 44) {
	cout << "test"<< endl; // debugger goes to this line
	}
	return 0;
}
