    Angry line break issues

    okay im brand new and i cant seem to get line breaks to work for me... here is my code
    Code:
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int GameEnd =0;
    int Option;
    int RockysPow =3;
    int ApollosPow =10;
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {           cout<<"Welcome to Rockys Punch Out Adventure!/ncreated by sean wilson.";
               
                               system("PAUSE");
        while (GameEnd =0);
              {
                cout<<"would your like to..";
              }
        system("PAUSE");
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    thanks in advance.

    How does it not work? In other words, describe what your code is supposed to do, and what it currently does.

    You should not be using global variables, so move this block of code into the main function:
    Code:
    int GameEnd =0;
    int Option;
    int RockysPow =3;
    int ApollosPow =10;
    This code also does not do what you are probably thinking of:
    Code:
        while (GameEnd =0);
              {
                cout<<"would your like to..";
              }
    Oh, and it is good that you posted your code in code tags, but please indent your code properly.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Also, you can fold long strings like this, and the compiler treats it as one
    Code:
    cout<<"Welcome to Rockys Punch Out Adventure!\n"
          "created by sean wilson.";
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I copied it from the last program in which I passed a parameter, which would have been pre-1989 I guess. - esbo
