first program: how many bricks do i need calculator

[Ben Atkins]

hi everyone, I have just created my first program in visual c++ 2008 and after many frustrating hours to make a calculator to find out how many bricks id need in a wall. Also to find a cost.

Any ways of improving my program will be greatly appreciated. Hope it doesn't turn out ugly.

Here it is:

// How many bricks in a wall calc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
  int length, courses, totalbricks, totalprice;
  cout << "Ayup duck, iv heard you are planning to build a brick wall,";
  cout << endl << "and it just so ";
      cout << "happens that im a quantity surveyor!" << endl << endl;
  cout << "How long in meter(s) do you want this wall to be then luv??: ";
  cin >> length; 
  cout << endl;
  cout << "Yes, yes, ok your wall will be " << length << " metre's long." << endl << endl;

  cout << "how many course of bricks high do you want your wall to be? ";
  cin >> courses;
  cout << endl;
  cout << "ok your wall will have " << courses << " courses." << endl << endl;

 totalbricks = 10*(length*courses);
 totalprice = 6*totalbricks;
 
  cout << "you will need about " << totalbricks << " bricks!" << endl << endl;
  cout << "( I am assuming that you are using my special 10cm long bricks that"; 
    cout <<  " you can glue together so no gap"; 
        cout <<"or need for mortar! only $6 EACH special offer!)" << endl << endl;

  cout << "It will only cost you $" << totalprice;
  cout << ", so your looking at a real bargain!" << endl << endl; 
      cout << "Now be a darlin' will ya and put the kettle on... cheers" << endl << endl;
  

  return 0;
     
}
