Code:

---


//after a long time, i figured this out

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()

{
    double ans1;
    int x;
     
   
    cout<<"Hi there! I am PC, the computer. What's your name?:" << endl;
    cout<<"Hi " <<endl;
    cout<<"Game?:";
    cin >>x;
   
   
    if(x==1)
    {
        cout<<"All right! Ok... This is a questionaire! You answer correctly,
        "you move on. 1 question. 1st question:"<<endl<<endl;
       
        cout<<"What is 398+276?: "<<endl;
        cin>>ans1;
       
        if(ans1==674)
        {
            cout<<"That is correct!!!";
        }
        else
        {
            cout<<"Wrong!";
        }
    }
   
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

the compiler says that line #15 has errors. that line is the first cout. it says missing terminating "character

what the heck am i missing here.

The error I get is on line 21, the first cout inside the if. It is because your string doesn't have a trailing " on that line. Your string can span two lines, but you must have both lines in their own quotes, or use a forward slash to continue to the next line and remove the quote there.

If your compiler supports it, you can attempt to do what you are doing by putting a '\' at the end of the above line. But its best to do as jlou suggested as all compilers accept:

Code:

---

"multi"
"-"
"line"
" "
"strings like this"

i moved a " away, then it works fine

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()

{
    double ans1;
    int x;
     
   
    cout<<"Hi there! I am PC, the computer. What's your name?:" << endl;
    cout<<"Hi " <<endl;
    cout<<"Game?:";
    cin >>x;
   
   
    if(x==1)
    {
        cout<<"All right! Ok... This is a questionaire! You answer correctly,
        you move on. 1 question. 1st question:"<<endl<<endl;
       
        cout<<"What is 398+276?: "<<endl;
        cin>>ans1;
       
        if(ans1==674)
        {
            cout<<"That is correct!!!";
        }
        else
        {
            cout<<"Wrong!";
        }
    }
   
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}
