int main()
{
int userinp;

cout

Code:

int main()
{
int userinp;

cout

Belso wrote:All right so where should i post my code?

Code:


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){

int userInt;
cout << "Please enter your age: " << endl; //This simple cout statement creates a prompt for the user.
cin >> userInt; //As you can see, the cin statement is similar to the cout statement, however instead of
//having two '<' symbols you have 2 '>' symbols. Instead of entering the variable to print you enter the
//variable to enter the value of. In this case, 'userInt'. Now let's just finish this program by printing userInt
cout << userInt << endl; //the 'endl' is for End Line and is used for good looks when reading your program
}


Code:

#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int userinp;
cout<< "how old are you?" endl
cin >> userinp
if userinp = 1
cout << 1 is really young

return 0;
}

Code:

#include

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int userinp;
cout<< "how old are you?" endl
cin >> userinp
if userinp = 1
cout << 1 is really young

return 0;
}


Code:


#include <iostream> //include what? Include iostream

using namespace std;

int main(){ //rearanged the curly brace to a way I like it to be. You don't have to do this.
int userinp;
cout<< "how old are you?" << endl; //added a '<<' before the endl and a semicolon.
cin >> userinp; //added semicolon
if (userinp == 1){    //I added parenthasis, and replaced the '=' with '==' cause that's what C++ uses
//I also added a curly brace on the above line so we could start the if code.
cout << "1 is really young" << endl; //I added quotation marks and an endl statment on this line.

}
return 0; //This shouldn't go inside of the if statement.

//extra curly brace was here, remove this.

//you made this variable an int, but in the if

Anyways glad it worked out for ya. Are you using dev C++ or are you using Code::Blocks (asking both of you) because Dev-C++ is what the dummies book uses and if you switch the Code::Blocks you'll be able to code in C++ easier. Code::Blocks uses a wide variety of compilers, I wish I could use MSVC++, but not use Microsofts compiler, use the Compiler I use with Code::Blocks, that way there'll be code that makes mroe sense to me, but I'll have the power of Microsofts GUI creation tool.

Nighthawk0973 wrote:Really? I actually don't own it, got it from the library lol. I never buy books about programming when I can sit around in the area where people never seem to go, the programming section

Yeah they used Dev-C++ in that version, 7 books in one however, never got around to finishing the first 'book'
