Thread: Heeeelp!

I'm writing a program for my C++ class that receives input and displays the fraction input. I can't figure out for the life of me why it is not working. I've got a syntax error somewhere. Please help a brotha out.

Code:

#include <iosotream>
using namespace std

void getFrac(int& , int&);

int main()
{
    int num,        // input - fraction numerator
        denom;      // input - fraction denominator
        
    cout <<  "Enter a common fraction "
         <<  "as 2 integers seperated by a slash: ";
         
         getFrac(num, denom);
         
         cout << "Fraction is " << numerator
              << " / " << denomerator << endl;
              
              system("pause");
              
         return 0;

}
// Reads a fraction.
// Pre: none
// Post: Returns fraction numerator through numerator
//         Returns fraction denominator through denominator 
void getFrac(int& numerator,     // OUT
             int& denominator)   // OUT
{
  char slash;   // temporary storage for slash
  cin >> numerator >> slash >> denominator;
}

Typos?

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//...
         cout << "Fraction is " << num
              << " / " << denom << endl;

That's a valid question. The function's body is just a line of code.

the:

Code:

cin >> numerator >> slash >> denominator;

will require a key press of return after each variable

This on the other hand is just wrong.
