i am a very new to c++
but what's wrong about this
?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char cin[20]
  char user[200];
  char password[200];

  printf ("hello world\n");

  printf ("enter user name:");

  cin.get(user));

  printf ("enterpassword")

  cin.get(password))
}
if (name, stefan))
{
if (password, 112112))
{
printf ("your correct");
}
printf ("correct");
return  0;
}

You should read your code more carefully. The way you use printf() is wrong. It should be printf ("text");. Also, code should be within a function. So what you have written after your main-function cannot be there. Or just replace your } to the end of the program, i.e. after the return 0. And also, the cin.get(); after the return 0 is unreachable code.

Look over your code again, your missing semicolon's at the end of multiple lines.

  cin.get(user)); // why is there three paranthesis here ?

You should probably change your get statment to :

  cin.get(user, 200, '\n');

Your if statments are also very messed up.

Since you're coding C++, use cout instead of printf. True printf has the cool feature of parsing all the "%s" and "%d". But all this can be done in cout, just a bit harder. Using cout is the real C++ way.

Note: You can't mix <iostream> with <iostream.h> if you include the std namespace.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	double value=34;

	cout.fill('*');
	cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed | ios::showpoint) << setprecision(2);

	cout << "HEY!" << setw(10) << value << endl;
	return 0;
}

/*
Prints out:

HEY! *****34.00

*/
