Noob needs some help

I just got back into C++ and it seems like so much has changed since i last messed with it at all, like the #include<header.h>, what happened????

Anyway, like I said i just got back into programming a little bit, I figure its better than wasting my time watching TV, so i started doing little tutorials and then making my own stuff just so I can see if I know what im doing

Code:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void whatsthatnumber(int* simple, int* simple2);
int main(void)
{
    int num1;
    int num2;
    int result; 
    int answer;
    
    cout << "Do you want to run the small program? Press 1 for YES, anything else for NO" << endl;
    cin >> answer;
    if (answer == 1)
    {
           answer = ;    
           whatsthatnumber(&num1, &num2);    
    }
    else
    {
      cout <<"Thanks anyway"<<endl;
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;  
    }
    
    whatsthatnumber(&num1, &num2);  
    result = (num1 + num2); 
    cout << endl;
    cout << result;
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}
// int* is to pass variables to other functions, like piPointer1, can not be used in main() unless you do int* which sets the number to your memory instead of just in the function itself
void whatsthatnumber(int* simple, int*simple2)
{
     cout << "input the first number: " << endl;
     cin >> *simple;
     cout <<"Input the second number: "<<endl;
     cin >> *simple2;
     cout<<"Thanks..calculating.."<<endl;
     cout<<"."<<endl;
     cout<<".."<<endl;
     cout<<"..."<<endl;
}

thats what I wrote...

If I hit 1, which brings me to the whatsthatnumber() function, ill get to input the two numbers, and thats fine, but after I hit enter after the second number, it makes me input the numbers again for some reason, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong?

Wow, nevermind, I just found out why..

Code:

whatsthatnumber(&num1, &num2);

just took that out of my main funtion to call the variables again which was running the function again, not needed i guess

ike the #include<header.h>, what happened????

iostream.h and family got deprecated with the C++ standard.

The answer lies in your code:

Code:

    if (answer == 1)
    {
           answer = ;    
           whatsthatnumber(&num1, &num2);    
    }
    else
    {
      cout <<"Thanks anyway"<<endl;
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;  
    }
    
    whatsthatnumber(&num1, &num2);  
    result = (num1 + num2); 
    cout << endl;
    cout << result;

Btw, green line is illegal and you can also use references instead of pointers, if you like. Read up on them if you don't know them. They're easier for what you're trying to accomplish.
