C++ structure with cin.get

I'm new here!

I'm beginner in programing. Now I doing some exercises from my book and I have question - why in

cin.get(ps->volume);

show me error? Here's my whole code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct inflatable //definicja struktury
{
   char name[20];
   float volume;
   double price;
};

int main()
{
   inflatable *ps = new inflatable; //alokacja pamieci na strukture, dynamiczne
   cout << "Podaj nazwe dmuchanej zabawki: ";
   cin.get(ps->name,20); //metoda pierwsza dostepu do pól
   cout << "Podaj objetosc w centymetrach: ";
   //cin >> (*ps).volume; //metoda druga dostepu do pól
   cin.get(ps->volume);
   cout << "Podaj cene (zl): ";
   cin >> ps->price;
   cout << "Nazwa: " << (*ps).name << endl;
   cout << "Objetosc: " << ps->volume << " centymetrow." << endl; //metoda 1
   cout << "Cena: " << ps->price << " zl." << endl; //metoda 1
   delete ps;

   return 0;
}

I know this line is good

//cin >> (*ps).volume; //metoda druga dostepu do pól

But I want to understand why I can't use line at the beginning of my post.

Well, cin.get() is used for characters. The volume declared there is a float so it should be:

cin>>ps->volume;
