  Signature: main: void -> int

  Purpose: to just play with using cin with 
           different types of variables
  
  Examples: if, when this program is run, the 
            user types the following when      
            prompted:
3
1.4
a
dachshund
true
            ...then the following should be printed 
            to the screen:
the int read in was: 3
the double read in was: 1.4
the char read in was: a
the string read in was: dachshund 
the bool read in was: true
