    Calculator program problemo

    Code:
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <string>
    #include <cmath>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    float Squareroot(float x);
    float Add(float x, float y);
    float Subtract(float x, float y);
    float Multiply(float x, float y);
    float Divide(float x, float y);
    
    int main() {
        
        cout << "Math Program v.1.8" << endl;
        
        float numberA;
        float numberB;
        cout << "What two numbers would you like to input?" << endl;
        cin >> numberA;
        cin >> numberB;
       
        cout << "Would you like to: \n" ;
        cout << "Square[r]oot?" << endl;
        cout << "[a]dd" << endl;
        cout << "[s]ubtract" << endl;
        cout << "[m]ultiply" << endl;
        cout << "or [d]ivide the numbers?" << endl;
        
        float funcvarbname; 
        
        string Option;
        if (Option == "r") {funcvarbname=Squareroot(numberA);}; 
        if (Option == "a") {funcvarbname=Add(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "s") {funcvarbname=Subtract(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "m") {funcvarbname=Multiply(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "d") {funcvarbname=Divide(numberA, numberB);};
        
        cout << funcvarbname << endl;
        
        system("PAUSE");
        return 0;
    }
    Well I fixed my original error, but now it doesn't print the answers to my functions! Help please!

    Um, isnt that because you arent printing anything with say, cout?

    I was using cout. But anyway I fixed it:

    Code:
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <string>
    #include <cmath>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    float Squareroot(float x);
    float Add(float x, float y);
    float Subtract(float x, float y);
    float Multiply(float x, float y);
    float Divide(float x, float y);
    
    int main() {
        
        cout << "Math Program v.1.8" << endl;
        
        float numberA;
        float numberB;
        cout << "What two numbers would you like to input?" << endl;
        cin >> numberA;
        cin >> numberB;
       
        cout << "Would you like to: \n" ;
        cout << "Square[r]oot?" << endl;
        cout << "[a]dd" << endl;
        cout << "[s]ubtract" << endl;
        cout << "[m]ultiply" << endl;
        cout << "or [d]ivide the numbers?" << endl;
        
        float funcvarbname; 
        
        string Option;
        cin >> Option;
        
        if (Option == "r") {funcvarbname=Squareroot(numberA);}; 
        if (Option == "a") {funcvarbname=Add(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "s") {funcvarbname=Subtract(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "m") {funcvarbname=Multiply(numberA, numberB);};
        if (Option == "d") {funcvarbname=Divide(numberA, numberB);};
        
        cout << "YOUR ANSWER IS: " << funcvarbname << endl;
        
        system("PAUSE");
        return 0;
    }
    
    float Squareroot(float x) {
          return sqrt(x);
          }
    float Add(float x, float y) {
          return x+y;
          }
    float Subtract(float x, float y) {
          return x - y;
          }
    float Multiply(float x, float y) {
          return x*y;
          }
    float Divide(float x, float y) {
          return x / y ;
          }

    I was using cout.
    You forgot to use it to print what you wanted to print though, glad to see that you have it fixed.
