Thread: what is wrong with this???

//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212-32)/100 +32
//
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
int exit;
exit = 1;
while (exit==1)
{
int split;
split = 1;
cout << "1. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit? \n2. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?\n"
cin >> split;

// decide which way to convert
if (split == 1)
{

// enter the temerature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the Celsius temprature:\n";
cin >> celsius;

// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 212 - 32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

// output the results
cout << "The Fahrenheit would be:\n";
cout << fahrenheit;
}

else
{

// enter the temerature in Fahrenheit
int fahrenheit;
cout << "Enter the Fahrenheit temprature:\n";
cin >> fahrenheit;

// calculate conversion factor for Fahrenheit
// to Celsius
int factor;
factor = 212 - 32;

// use conversion factor to convert Fahrenheit
// into Celsius values
int celsius;
celsius = factor / fahrenheit * 100 - 32;

// output the results
cout << "The Fahrenheit would be:\n";
cout << fahrenheit;
}

// quit the program or not?
cout << "\nConvert again? \n21. yes \n2. no \n";
cin >> exit;
}

return 0;
}


the compiler says...

18, parse error before `>'

i marked line 18 in bold

oh i c thx

nm i figured it out now it all works properly and spiffy... btw its my first program that i didnt type out the source from a book, sort of

//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212-32)/100 +32
//
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
int exit;
exit = 1;
while (exit==1)
{
int split;
split = 1;
cout << "1. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit? \n2. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?\n";
cin >> split;

// decide which way to convert
if (split == 1)
{

// enter the temerature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the Celsius temprature:\n";
cin >> celsius;

// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 180;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

// output the results
cout << "The Fahrenheit would be:\n";
cout << fahrenheit;
}

else
{

// enter the temerature in Fahrenheit
int fahrenheit;
cout << "Enter the Fahrenheit temprature:\n";
cin >> fahrenheit;

// calculate conversion factor for Fahrenheit
// to Celsius
int factor;
factor = 180;

// use conversion factor to convert Fahrenheit
// into Celsius values
int celsius;
celsius = 100*(fahrenheit-32)/180;

// output the results
cout << "The Celsius would be:\n";
cout << celsius;
}

// quit the program or not?
cout << "\nConvert again?\n1. yes \n2. no \n";
cin >> exit;
}

return 0;
}

so instead of making them int, they should be float?

saaa weet ,,, float does the trick i think

//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212-32)/100 +32
//
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
int exit;
exit = 1;
while (exit==1)
{
int split;
split = 1;
cout << "1. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit? \n2. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?\n";
cin >> split;

// decide which way to convert
if (split == 1)
{

// enter the temerature in Celsius
float celsius;
cout << "Enter the Celsius temprature:\n";
cin >> celsius;

// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
float factor;
factor = 180;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
float fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

// output the results
cout << "The Fahrenheit would be:\n";
cout << fahrenheit;
}

else
{

// enter the temerature in Fahrenheit
float fahrenheit;
cout << "Enter the Fahrenheit temprature:\n";
cin >> fahrenheit;

// calculate conversion factor for Fahrenheit
// to Celsius
float factor;
factor = 180;

// use conversion factor to convert Fahrenheit
// into Celsius values
float celsius;
celsius = 100*(fahrenheit-32)/180;

// output the results
cout << "The Celsius would be:\n";
cout << celsius;
}

// quit the program or not?
cout << "\nConvert again?\n1. yes \n2. no \n";
cin >> exit;
}

return 0;
}

ok ic double = better
