Thread: something really simple....

This is supposed to be an easy one, but I can't get it to work right..
Could anyone please help?

------------------------------------

Code:

---------------------------------
int main ()
{
                int num1, num2;
	float sum, average;
	num1=0; num2=0;
	sum = num1 + num2;
	average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;
	cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
	cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
	cin >> num1 ; num2;
	cout << endl;
	
	// Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
	sum = num1 + num2;

	// Average of num1 and num2.
	average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;

	// Display the sum of num1 + num2.
	cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

	// Display the average of num1 and num2.
	cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;
	

	return 0;
}

Code:

int main ()
{
                int num1, num2;
	float sum, average;
	num1=0; num2=0;
	sum = num1 + num2;                    //These two lines are
	average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;   //doing nothing valuable.
	cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
	cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
	cin >> num1 ; num2;  // Here's your biggest problem.
//Change that line to cin >> num1 >> num2;
	cout << endl;
	
	// Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
	sum = num1 + num2;

	// Average of num1 and num2.
	average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0; //It'd be better to use your sum variable rather that do the same computation twice.

	// Display the sum of num1 + num2.
	cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

	// Display the average of num1 and num2.
	cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;
	

	return 0;
}

That ought to fix everything necessary. Also, sum could be an int. And when you open a tag like code, you need to close it with [ /code ], except without those spaces.

//edit: he (joshdick) was posting at the same time as me -_-

you forgot the closing code tag

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
   int num1, num2;
   float sum, average;
   num1=0; num2=0;

   sum = num1 + num2; //not necessary
   average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;//not necessary

   cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
   cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
   cin >> num1 >> num2;
   cout << endl;

   // Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
   sum = num1 + num2;

   // Average of num1 and num2.
   average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0; //if this doesn't work (it should), try average=static_cast<float>(num1+num2)/2.0;

   // Display the sum of num1 + num2.
   cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

   // Display the average of num1 and num2.
   cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;


   return 0;
}

no problem... i often forget teh closing tag... just go back and edit the post...

Glad I could help. I'm also glad that I got to this post first. It's the small things in life that make me happy

i'm always worried that that will happen... i do all that work, then somebody like you comes along and posts before i get a chance -_- j/k... it wasn't much work, really

I'm usually worried about that too, which is why I do my best to post quickly.
