Thread: newb help

Code:

#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main()
{

    //declare variables 
    double openingbalance =0;
    double deposits       =0; 
    double withdrawls     =0;   
    double closingbalance =0; 
    
    //enter input items 
    cout << "Enter opening balance: ";
    cin >> openingbalance;
    cout << "Enter deposits: ";
    cin >> deposits;
    cout << "Enter amount withdrawn: ";
    cin >> withdrawls;
    
    //calcuate closingbalance 
    closingbalance= openingbalance + deposits - withdrawals;
    
    //display output item 
    cout << "closingbalance: " << closingbalance << end1;
    
    return 0;
} // end of main function

I am very new to C++ as you can tell any help would be nice

Code:

  cout << "closingbalance: " << closingbalance << end1;

Should be "endl", not "end1".

Thanks for your help, but I am still missing the closingbalance when I test it...

Code:

#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main()

{

    //declare variables 
    double openingbalance =0;
    double deposits       =0; 
    double withdrawls     =0;   
    double closingbalance =0; 
    
    //enter input items 
    cout << "Enter opening balance: ";
    cin >> openingbalance;
    cout << "Enter deposits: ";
    cin >> deposits;
    cout << "Enter amount withdrawn: ";
    cin >> withdrawls;
    
    //calcuate closingbalance 
    closingbalance = openingbalance + deposits - withdrawls;
    
    //display output item 
    cout << "closingbalance: " << closingbalance << endl;
    
    return 0;
} // end of main function

Are you having the problem with the console window disappearing when the program ends, so you don't see the last items printed?
