Need some help with a Programming Code...PLEASE!

[barch 88]

Ok, I'm using Dev C++ game programming software and I need someone to help me write a code... this is what my teacher gave me, sorry if it's not too clear I really don't understand it..

Ok;

Write a code for the following exercise: Input two numbers. Multiplay the numbers together and print the result in the form: "The product of __ and __ is __." Be sure to include proper spacing and punctuation. Add the numbers together and print the result in the form: "The sum of __ and __ is __." Instruct the user to press enter to exit the program.

Here is some of the tips he gave us.

#include Int main() { Int first_num; cout << "Enter an integer between 1 and 10: "; cin >> first_num; cout << "\n\nEnter second_num"; cout << "The sum of __ and __ is " << first_num+second_num << ".h" }

I really need help with this is an assignment and it's due tomorrow and yes, i've tryed to figure out out for the past hour... and still nothing. I'd be very grateful for any help.

-Edit-
Here is a code I just tryed and it gave me a couple of errors;

#include using namespace std; int main() ( int first_num; cout << "Enter an integer between 1 and 10: "; cin >> first_num; cout << "\n\nEnter second_num"; cout << "the sum of _ and _ is " << first_num + second_num << ".h"; std::cout << "Press the ente key to exit"; std::cin.ignore(std::cin.rdbuf()->in_avail() + 1); return 0; }//end line

Here are the errors;

Line 11 C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\Hello\Assignment 1.3.cpp parse error before `;' token line 19 C:\Dev-Cpp\Examples\Hello\Assignment 1.3.cpp `main' declared as function

If anyone can tell me how to fix those then that would be apprecieated as well.

I don't know C++, but it looks like you have a parenthesis instead of a bracket below the constructor for int main(). That may take care of one of the errors.

I know exactly how to do this in java but c++ isn't something i've messed with it. One thing i can't help but notice, it doesn't look like you multiply anywhere in there and product means multiplication. I can show you the java code if you like but you'd have to know how to adapt it.

EDIT
Also i see you declare first_num as a variable but i don't see you declare second_num anywhere.

Yeah, I can try the Java Code if you can give it that would be great.

Let me mess with it some more...

change "(" to "{" after "int main()"

first off variable "second_num" is not declared; you have to declare a variable before you can use it in C++;
like "int second_num;"
it also has no input statement, meaning no value.you need some thing like:
cin >> second_num;
now for the output:
what the hell is ".h" anyway?????(sorry for the language)
you probably mis-read it from ".\n"
adding( SUM ) output statement should be:
cout << "The sum of " << first_num << " and " << second_num << " is " << first_num+second_num << ".\n";

for multiplying(PRODUCT) :
cout << "The product of " << first_num << " and " << second_num << " is " << first_num*second_num << ".\n";

HTH.

#include <.iostream>
Int main()
{
Int first_num;
Int second_num;

cout << "Enter an integer between 1 and 10: ";
cin >> first_num;
cout << "\n\nEnter second number: ";
cin>> second_num;

cout << "The product of " << first_num << " and " << second_num << " is " << first_num*second_num << ".\h";

cout << "The sum of " << first_num << " and " << second_num << " is " << first_num+second_num << ".\h";

exitcomm();

}
void exitcomm(){
cout << "Press enter to exit...";
getchar();getchar();}

Hope this help. This is how it should look like... pretty basic. But, I do tend to make a lot of mistake in basic coding.

--.h is correct, it's a form of a standard string... correct me if i am wrong

--you need to include because you using input from the keyboard and output... take out the . because forum text won't show if i didn't put it in there

--add a function at the end calling the exit method

Thank You.

nav:
what does "\h" do? in my 20 years of programming, I never hear of it.
"\n" is end of line, but "\h" simply prints an "h" at the end of the sentence without producing a new line, so the next "cout" statement will be printed appeneded to it.
lets refresh: In C\C++
Escape Sequence Represents
\a Bell (alert)
\b Backspace
\f Formfeed
\n New line
\r Carriage return
\t Horizontal tab
\v Vertical tab
\' Single quotation mark
\" Double quotation mark
\\ Backslash
\? Literal question mark
\ooo ASCII character in octal notation
\xhhh ASCII character in hexadecimal notation

Alfie2 you might be right on that one. If you have done coding for 20 years... I take your word and judgment on it.

From my knowledge .h itself is an extension... i.e. stdio.h, which is use in a standard i/o. Let's just leave it at that, it was my poor judgment to overlooked the codes.
