If Program from the tutorial section
I am doing the if program on this website. It wont print out 'you are young", or "you are old". What is wrong with the code, or do I have to have an option enabled in my compiler?
Code://This will give a remark after inputting an age. #include <iostream.h> int main() { int age; cout<<"Please input your age: "; cin>>age; if(age<100) { cout<<"You are pretty young!"; } else if(age==100) { cout<<"You are old"; } else { cout<<"You are really old"; } return 0; }
Hmmm, try some endl's at the end of those cout's.

Can you post an example, I am confused at your response.
The << endl on the end adds a newline and flushes the buffer.Code:cout << "hello world!" << endl;
If you never flush the output buffer, then the data that you are trying to display may never get written to the screen (as you've noticed in your program).
Use the new header, <iostream>, and
using namespace std;
The tutorials need updating!

Could someone e-mail me what the proper code is, or can the site have the code updated? I am a newbie at C++, and I am trying to follow the tutorials. E-mail me through the profile if you can help out.
If your console's disappearing, you may need to add this before the return 0;
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
Thanks swoopy it worked. But how do I use the, like another member sugggested?Code:endl;
Just add it to your cout's anytime you need a newline.
Code:if(age<100) { cout<<"You are pretty young!" << endl; } else if(age==100) { cout<<"You are old" << endl; } else { cout<<"You are really old" << endl; }
