    I am glad we could help - remeber practise makes perfect.

    Once you get to understand how to create and link your own header files, you can organise
    large projects much better, and not have to bung all the code in the one file. This makes it much easier to maintain and organise, and of course, other people will be able to find functions. classes better.

    also,
    <stdio.h> and <iostream> are the c and c++ versions of console output. You probably only want to use one of those and not both.

    Or at least use the C++ namespace version, <cstdio>. (That applies for all the standard C header files, like <time.h> -> <ctime>.)
