Whats Wrong With This Code
#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int mult(int x, int y);
int main()
{
int x, y;
cout<<"Please input two numbers to be multiplied: ";
cin>>x>>y;
cout<<"The product of your two numbers is"<<mult(x, y);
system("pause");
return 0;
}
int mult(int x, int y)
{
return x*y;
}
thats my code
it works fine but it sayd The product Of your 2 numers are <num>Press any button to continue straight after without aany spaces or a new line
whats wrong with it ?
It's because i/o is buffered by default, which means unless you flush the output buffer yourself, it isn't flushed until there is further input or as in your case your program ends. As your program doesn't end until after your call to system("pause"); you won't see the output until after this has returned. One method of preventing this would be to flush the output imeadiately -
cout<<"The product of your two numbers is"<<mult(x, y)<<flush;
However as you probably want a newline you could replace flush with endl (which will also flush the buffer).

Try it this way.
cout<<"The product of your two numbers is "<<mult(x, y) << endl;
Actually, try this:
cout<<endl << "The product of your two numbers is "<<mult(x, y) << endl;
You need to explicitly tell it to use new lines. The above will put the line breaks you want in.
