    calculator

    This is the first piece of code I have attempted to write in C++ and need some help getting it to do what I need it to. I am supposed to write a code for a calculator using only pointer and anonymous variables that continuously asks for different operations until the user wants to exit. This is what I have so far and it terminates after asking for the second number. Any help is appreciated, THANK YOU!
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<cmath>
    #include<iomanip>
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    using namespace std;
    
    int Arithmetic ( int * x , int * y );
    
    
    int main() {
    
    int num1;
    
    int num2;
    
    
    cout << "Please enter an integer value:"; // prompts user to enter number
    cin >> num1; //stores number
    cout << "Please enter a second integer value:"; // prompts user to enter number
    cin >> num2; //stores number
    
    Arithmetic( &num1,&num2 );
    
    return 0;
    
    }
    
    int
     Arithmetic(int * x, int * y)
    
    {
    
    char * charPtr;
    
    int * intPtr2;
    
        
    while ( * charPtr != 'q' ){
    
            charPtr = newchar;
    
            cout << "Please select an operation:(+,-,*,/,%) or enter 'q' to exit"; // prompts user to enter and operation or 0 to exit
    
            cin >> *charPtr; 
    // stores user input
    
            
    switch ( *charPtr )
    
            {
    
                
    case'+':
    
                    *intPtr2 = *x + *y;
    
                    
    break;
    
                
    case'-':
    
                    *intPtr2 = *x - *y;
    
                    
    break;
    
                
    case'*':
    
                    *intPtr2 = *x * *y;
    
                    
    break;
    
                
    case'/':
    
                    *intPtr2 = *x / *y;
    
                    
    break;
    
                
    case'%':
    
                    *intPtr2 = *x % *y;
    
                    
    break;
    
                
    default:
    
                    cout << "invalid operation, enter 'q' to exit";
    
                    
    break;
    
                    }
    
            cout << *intPtr2;
    
        }
    
    return
     0;
    
    }

    Please edit your post so that the code doesn't have a crap-load of useless tags in it before you post it.

    Eg.
    [B ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#7f0055 ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#7f0055 ]#include[/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/B ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#2a00ff ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#2a00ff ]<iostream>[/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/COLOR ][/SIZE ]
    [B ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#7f0055 ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#7f0055 ]#include[/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/B ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#2a00ff ][SIZE=2 ][COLOR=#2a00ff ]<cmath>[/COLOR ][/SIZE ][/COLOR ][/SIZE ]

    That is, so your code looks like this
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<cmath>
    #include<iomanip>
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    using namespace std;
    That is, make sure you paste "text" as opposed to pasting "HTML" or some other overly decorated format.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Also make sure to indent your code.

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