    Take a look at my program(math problem)

    #include <iostream>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <conio.c>

    #define SHOREHIGH "Welcome to Shore High School!! "

    typedef char ZOO:
    typedef int USHORT;

    USHORT useranswer;

    int main()
    {
    USHORT classrooms(20);
    USHORT teachers=2*20;
    textcolor(9);
    textbackround(7);
    cout << SHOREHIGH;
    cout << "\nHeres a math problem. There are 20 classrooms, 500 students in the entire school, and 2 teachers per classroom. How many teachers are there in the entire school?";
    cin >> useranswer;

    if (useranswer==teachers) {
    cout << "\nYou're absolutely correct"; }

    if (useranswer!=teachers) {
    cout << "\nWRONG!! Try again\n"; }

    getch();
    return 0;
    }

    Have a better method of making this program?

    *Don't use unneccessary #definitions
    *Don't use unneccessary typedefs
    *Don't use variables when variables aren't needed

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	short userans;
    
    	cout << "Welcome to Shore High School!!";
    	cout << "\nHeres a math problem. There are 20 classrooms, 500 students in the entire \nschool, and 2 teachers per classroom. How many teachers are there in the\nentire school ?"; 
    	cin >> userans;
    
    	if (userans == 40) 
    		cout << "\nYou're absolutely correct"; 
    	else  
    		cout << "\nWRONG!! Try again\n"; 
    
    	getch();
    
    	return 0;
    }

    just a little shorter

    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    #include <conio.h>

    int main()
    {
    short userans;

    cout << "Welcome to Shore High School!!";
    cout << "\nHeres a math problem. There are 20 classrooms, 500 students in the entire \nschool, and 2 teachers per classroom. How many teachers are there in the\nentire school ?";
    cin >> userans;
    (userans == 40) ? cout<<"U R right" : cout<<"U R wrong";

    getch();
    return 0;
    }


    Even the greatest of whale is helpless, in the middle of the dessert.
    So help someone who needs help today then some one else will help U tommorrow when U need it.
