Need help with code!

Recently I decided to start trying to teach myself C++ and picked up the C++ version of For Dummies to begin at the beginning. However the code that is given in the first chapter doesn't seem to compile when I enter it using C++ Express. The code is as follows:

Code:

---

//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212 - 32)/100 + 32
//
#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 values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

// output the results (followed by a 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;
}

---

And once that is entered in I get a long string of errors at the bottom of the compiler:

Code:

---

Is there something that I am entering wrong or did I create the project wrong in C++ Express. (File->New->Project->Win32 Console App->Empty Project)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Are your quotes all jacked up? They look like Word quotes or something... Fix 'em.

Yes, the quote characters are wrong.
You're using ”, but you should be using ".
There's a difference.

Also mind your indentation. Visual Studio should take care of that for you, so don't fight it.

Thanks, that was the problem ;)

At the risk of sounding arrogant. I know it was the problem. Hense the post. What were you using to write your code in the first place? My vote is still MS Word.

I actually have the eBook of C++ for Dummies so I just pasted the code from there into VC++ Express. It was formatted that way in the book I just assumed that it would be fine to use in the compiler. Usually I write my code straight into C++ Express though. So, next time that is what I'll be doing lol...

At the risk of sound arrogant, ditto ;)
I knew it from the start too. Big difference in those characters.
