Help Please !!!!!!!!

I am on the second part of the Tutorial on cpprogramming.com
and i tried the age program

Code:

#include <iostream.h>			
			
int main()				//Most important part of the program!
{
  int age;				//Need a variable...
  
  cout<<"Please input your age: ";	//Asks for age
  cin>>age;				//The input is put in age
  
  if(age<100)				//If the age is less than 100
  {
     cout<<"You are pretty young!";     //Just to show it works
  }
  else if(age==100)		//I use else just to show an example 
  {
     cout<<"You are old";		//Just to show you it works...
  }
  else if(age>100)
  {
    cout<<"You are really old";	//Proof that it works for any condition
  }
  return 0;
}

I am using DEV-C++ Ver 4.9.9.1
and when ever i compile and run , a command screen pops up but when i enter the age and press ENTER it exits HELP please

nothing is working i even downloaded a chess game from one of the Threads but every time i try to run it , a black screen pops up and disappears really fast. HELP!!!!

it's not great programming using system, but can be useful when your starting out:
system ( "pause" ) ;
before you return, this runs "pause" through cmd.exe

i didnt really understand what you just said i am Newbie so you going to have to speak in details.thanks

OK NM i will try

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU JUST MADE MY DAY



COOLLLLLLLLL
Now i can continue the TUTORIAL. thanks again

You're program is working just fine, it's just that it displays its output and then exits so fast that you don't get a chance to read anything. Using system("pause") might work but a better alternative would probably be to put:

Code:

cin.get();

right before the return statement.

Thanks i was about the ask for help again

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

int mult(int x, int y);

int main()
{
  int x, y;
  cout<<"Please input two numbers to be multiplied: ";
  cin>>x>>y;
  cout<<"The product of your two numbers is "<<mult(x, y);
  return 0;
}

int mult(int x, int y)
{
  cin.get();
  return x*y;
}

Okay how do i work that program i tried typing a # then Pressing ENTER then typing another one then ENTER again < after that it just exits

Here is my answer to the multiplication program:

Code:

#include <iostream> //use iostream not iostream.h
using namespace std;//include this so you will be able to use cout not std::cout

int main()
{
  int num1,num2,answer;
 
  
  cout<<"Please input a number to be multiplied: " << endl;
  cin>>num1;
  cout << "Please input a second number to be multiplied:" << endl;
  cin >>num2;
  answer=num1*num2;
  cout<<"The product of your two numbers is " << answer << endl;
  system("PAUSE");
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

the cin.get() is in the wrong place.. its suppose to be in the main function...
and put cin.ignore() after it..

Yours seem to work thanks
and i also made a Division version of that one .
^ i know its not that impressing but hey i started reading that tutorial today i didnt Know nothing about c++ before and i am only 15 years old and i am trying to absorb everything that is tought in that tutorial . THANKS again for all your help.

if you are going to be using system("PAUSE"); no need for cin.get()..

It worked both ways but i understand that it is not needed

Code:

struct database
{
  int id_number;
  int age;
  float salary;
};

int main()
{
  database employee;  //There is now an employee variable that has modifiable 
			    //variables inside it.
  employee.age=22;
  employee.id_number=1;
  employee.salary=12000.21;    
  return 0;
}

I need help again its show up and disappearing right away.
I tried using system("pause");AND ther other one. but its given me an error. "SYSTEM" UNDECLARED

HELP

HELP

#include <iostream>
using namspace std;

the cin.get() is in the wrong place.. its suppose to be in the main function...
and put cin.ignore() after it..

cin.ignore(); then cin.get();

First clear the stream.
