Thanks.
You're right. If I've got time enough to screw around with a program I have time to check the FAQs. I'll keep it in mind.

I was making a program with lots of text and realized that there should be some way to clear the screen before continuing on to the next set of stuff. (i.e. after reading the instructions, the screen...

Thanks again to everyone who helped us out. One less major source of stress to deal with.

Dear lord, over 100 errors from a missing bracket?
You think debugging the code is the fun part?
Whoa.

Anything's worth a try.
Hope Heather's not too offended that we chucked her code and started over. It would help if she showed up to class once in a while though.
Thanks guys.
Although for future...

Updated code:

using namespace std;
int GetCoordinate ()
double GetDistance (double X1, double Y1, double X2, double Y2, double d)
void PrintResults (double d, double X1, double Y1, double X2,...

New set of errors includes:
N:\distancecode.cpp In function `int GetCoordinate()':
7 N:\distancecode.cpp syntax error before `double'
N:\distancecode.cpp In function `double...

We wouldn't do the project in C++ except it's a C++ class.
Originally the school advertised it as being a class in BASIC, but the teacher decided he liked this language better despite all of us...

Everything I touch in programming gets ruined. Errors all over the place.
It's another group project, but this time we have to present it to the class and it refuses to compile. We don't even...

Thanks so much! I had heard about g++ but I'm very new to Linux so I didnt exactly know what to look for. This helps me a lot! :D

Curiosity leads me to ask why not? I don't know what else should go there being a newbie with a bad teacher.

thanks

I'm getting syntax errors I can't find. If anyone can see them, please help. The coding is nowhere near done but I'd rather debug as I went along so I know where the trouble is.
Oh, and what's "call...

Does anyone know of a decent compiler for linux that I can download for free? I would prefer if it had an IDE and an option to run console applications as well (if these things are standard, sorry,...

I think Mr. Johnson would flip out if I used structures we haven't learned in class. I'll try though...

This will probably make more sense in context of the whole assignment:

An engineer needs to know the perimeter and area of triangular plots of land. He can input the coordinates (+/-100, +/-100)...

Maybe if the x and y co-ordinates are stored separately? But there has to be a way to obtain and store two numbers at once, doesn't there?

No, I know it needs cin, but I need to know what data type to store it in or something. I'm confused about how a pair of coordinates should be stored.

I need to know how to obtain co-ordinate input for a program that uses Heron's theorem (Area=sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) where s=1/2 perimeter and a,b,c are the lengths of the sides. I'm at a loss for...

I agree, but Mr. Johnson seems to think it's a cure-all for everything. That spans from programming to ending world hunger and creating heaven on earth. :P

Thanks! That makes more sense than "Just comment it out and it will go away." My teacher needs a kick in the head.

Sorry about being confusing and useless. I'm panicking because this is due tomorrow and the teacher hasn't been too helpful for the entire year. We're using Bloodshed.net DevC++ for our compiler.
We...

P.S. The self-added file isn't included because I'm sick of seeing it. It only appears when I click on the error message in the debugger...

Our clock is not a real timer in this program, it is an event counter because the teacher is a freaking retard who does things weirdly. The compiler, however, has decided to add a new file on time.h...

Ah. Something just clicked in my thick little head. I think we can do it now. Thanks for your help, CornedBee! You are a lifesaver.
