Im compiling in dev c++ 5 beta
When I compile and run, it boot's the console app window and then exits.Code:#include <iostream>
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 believe its just my bad beginners programming.
Add std::cin.get() after your your last statement in main and it will wait for user input before it exits.
return 0;
Add that too. :)
This is optional in main. If return statement in the main function is missing the 0 is returned anywayQuote:

What does every line of your code have in common except for std::cin.get()?
......lost??? I must be stupid or something lol...
ow I see ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; it compiles know.
am I suppost to get anything on the screen because i am not....
Well, you're not outputting anything in your code. You're just assigning values to the variables in your employee object.Quote:

For anyone that might be interested here is the final working code.
Thx for all the help guys.Code:#include <iostream>
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;
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
Hi,
Generally, when you write a program, at the end of the program you output something to the console window to prove that your code actually did what you wanted it to. So, you might want to try outputing the employee's various member variables.
