hhhh.....elp!

Hi everyone,

I'm still working on the same project and my brain just doesn't work any more......

I tried to use functions and it gave me more problems, so I went back and made it a straight main function program.... but I'm still getting those da*e error messages that I have no clue of....

can any one shed some light??:confused:
Thanks so much, I so so appreciate everyone's help....

here are the error messages

proj4.cc: In function `int main()':
proj4.cc:276: parse error before `{'
proj4.cc:287: confused by earlier errors, bailing out


here is the program, sorry it is a bit long.....

starting at line12

Salem and Monster,

Thank you both very much..... I looked over my codes more carefully and found those mistakes that you two have caught....
I was finally able to compile my program and run it. The only last thing is that I would like to line up the output, does anyone know what syntax I can use to put a "tab" between each print out?


Thanks so much!

Code:

---

cout << "\t";

---

displays a tab.

If you want to line up your output you can use setw() which is in the iomanip library.
