What does this mean?

[Nick Dillon]

I am using a compiler called Quincy 99 and when I try to run my program I get this error.

(gcc.exe: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations)

Here is my program:


#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
const in MAX = 50;
int count = 0;
int index = 0;
float numbers_array[MAX];
char ch = 'Y';
int max;
int min;
int i = 0

do
{ while(ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')
{
cout << "Please enter a number: ";
cin >> numbers_array[index];
index++;
count++;
cout << "Do you want to enter another number? (Y/N) ";
cin >> ch;
}

min = number_array[0];
max = number_array[0];

while (i < MAX)
{
if (number_array[i] < min)
{
min = number_array[i];
}

else (number_array[i] > max)
{
max = number_array[i];
}
i++
}

cout << "You entered a total of" << count;
cout << "numbers." <<endl;
cout << "The largest number you entered was " << max << endl;
cout << "The smallest number you entered was " << min << endl;
cout << "Do you want to re run this program? (Y/N);
cin >> ch;
}
while (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'Y')

return 0;
}


what am I doing wrong?

Well, I'm not familiar with gcc, so I can't tell you what your error means, but there are several other problems with your program.

> void main()

main returns an int, not void

> const in MAX = 50;

int, perhaps?

> int i = 0

You forgot the semicolon

> i++

No semicolon again

> (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'Y')

You probably mean (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')

>min = number_array[0];
>max = number_array[0];

You declared it as numbers_array

I will make the corrections and see what happens

The error doesn't have anything to do with the code corrections - I only fixed minor typographical errors. It's something to do with the way you're compiling it.
