Thread: program won't run in VC++ Express

Hi everyone..
This code was from a book and I was trying to compile it with VC++ Express.

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int nNumberofArgs, char * pszArgs[]);
{
	//enter the temperature in celsius
	int celsius;
	cout <<"Enter the temperature in celsius: ";
	cin >> celsius;
	
	//calculate conversion factor for celsius to fahrenheit
	int factor;
	factor = 212 - 32;
	
	//use conversion factor to convert celsius into fahrenheit value
	int fahrenheit;
	fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

	//output the results (followed by an Newline)
	cout <<"Fahrenheit value is: ";
	cout <<fahrenheit <<endln;

	//wait until user is ready before terminating program to allow the
	//user to see the program results
	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

And this is the error I get. I probably didn't include necessary files. I am new at C++ and I am still learning my way to libraries and such.
Thanks...

Code:

'temp.exe': Loaded 'C:\Documents and Settings\Tangog\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\temp\debug\temp.exe', Binary was not built with debug information.
'temp.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll', No symbols loaded.
'temp.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', No symbols loaded.
The program '[1556] temp.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Hi all,
Now it's running but all I get is a blank window; no outputs.. Do I need to include something else, a library perhaps?
Thanks guys..

Mats

How do I build it as debug and how will I run it in the debugger? Sorry.. please bear with me.

Can you please tell me how?

It should be built in debug mode by default (you can check by going to Build > Configuration Manager and verifying that the solution configuration is Debug).

You are already running it through the debugger, the output you posted is what happens when you run the program through the debugger. You either hit F5 or selected Debug > Start Debugging or clicked the triangular play button on the toolbar.

What might be happening is that generating debug info got turned off. Go to Project > Properties. Select Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General and make sure that the Debug Information Format is set to Progam Database (/Zi) or Progam Database for Edit & Continue (/ZI). Then Rebuild Solution to make sure it gets generated.

This means post your current code like you did at the start of this thread.

Here's the current program. I really didn't change anything except for the semicolon after the int main line. You guys were right, the debug setting was disabled. I changed it to program database format (/Zi) but the output is still the same, just a blank screen.

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int nNumberofArgs, char * pszArgs[])
{
	//enter the temperature in celsius
	int celsius;
	cout <<"Enter the temperature in celsius: ";
	cin >> celsius;
	
	//calculate conversion factor for celsius to fahrenheit
	int factor;
	factor = 212 - 32;
	
	//use conversion factor to convert celsius into fahrenheit value
	int fahrenheit;
	fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

	//output the results (followed by an Newline)
	cout <<"Fahrenheit value is: ";
	cout <<fahrenheit <<endln;

	//wait until user is ready before terminating program to allow the
	//user to see the program results
	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

What could possibly be missing here?

Thanks avg.. I corrected it. It still said no debugging information but I went ahead and continued and it actually worked! Is that good enough though? This is what it said:

Debugging information for 'temp.exe' cannot be found or does not match. Binary was not built with debug information.
Do you want to continue debugging?

Thanks mats, it is actually in the debug version. Anyway, it's running now and thanks to all of you.. Final code is:

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	//enter the temperature in celsius
	int celsius;
	cout <<"Enter the temperature in celsius: ";
	cin >> celsius;
	
	//calculate conversion factor for celsius to fahrenheit
	int factor;
	factor = 212 - 32;
	
	//use conversion factor to convert celsius into fahrenheit value
	int fahrenheit;
	fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

	//output the results (followed by an Newline)
	cout <<"Fahrenheit value is: ";
	cout <<fahrenheit <<endl;

	//wait until user is ready before terminating program to allow the
	//user to see the program results
	system ("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}
