I am new at C++ and my program is erroring part way through it

[Bobit]

my program compiles and executes fine but when i try to run it, it goes through a little bit then errors. here is my code
thanx

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

   cx = (xa + xb + xc) / 3;

   sa = (yb - ya) / (xb - xa);

   ea = cx * sc;
   eb = cx * sd;
   ec = cy - ea;
   ed = cy - eb;
   ee = ea - eb;
   ef = ed - ec;
   ex = ef / ee;
   ey = (ea * ex) + ec;
   cout << "\n\nThe Euler Line for this Triangle is (" << ex << "," << ey << ")" << endl;
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

Use a debugger to find out where exactly the error is, and what.

[7stud]

If your new to c++ you probably don't know how to use the debugger yet, but it is very valuable. You can execute one line of your code at a time, and look at all the values for your variables to see what's happening, so it's good to learn how to use the debugger as quickly as possible.

Looking at your code, it's possible you could be dividing by 0 somewhere in your calculations depending on what numbers you input.

Also, having to type all those variable names is a reason why you would want to use arrays instead.

Instead of ints, change your variables to doubles or floats to perform the calculations.
