    A Very noobie question!

    Hey

    I am currently working on a c++ program that can work out the temperatures and pressures along a Jet Engine, however there is one simple problem that is getting in my way.

    How do I do indicies in C++?

    Some of the calcualtions involve T3T4= (P3/P2) ^ (Y/Y-1)

    But I dont know how to get an indice to work in C++, I get an error message complaining about the presence of the floating poing numbers, does anyone know how to implement an indice?

    pow [C++ Reference]

    ^ in C++ performs a bitwise XOR

    Actually, I was wondering if there was a reason you were not using Matlab.

    If you mean with ^ to the power as T3T4= (P3/P2) to the power of (Y/Y-1)

    then you should include <cmath>

    and then the statment will be as T3T4= pow((P3/P2),(Y/(Y-1)));

    My Regard,
    Salmi

    More precisely std::pow((P3/P2),(Y/(Y-1)));
    Or alternatively a using namespace std; at the top of your source file.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.
