The only output statement in your code, the hint would be that it has the word "out" at the beginning.

Thank you for your help :) my first piece of code, nothing special to brag but gotta start somewhere :)

i would also like to ask if i may, how to have me imput the radius for me to calculate the area?

std::cin >> radius;

You're not calculating the area here.

area = radius * pi;

Here's the formula for calculating the area.

area = radius * radius * pi;

hehe thanks for pointing that out :P
