something really simple....

This is supposed to be an easy one, but I can't get it to work right..
Could anyone please help?

------------------------------------

Code:

---

---------------------------------
int main ()
{
                int num1, num2;
        float sum, average;
        num1=0; num2=0;
        sum = num1 + num2;
        average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;
        cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
        cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
        cin >> num1 ; num2;
        cout << endl;
       
        // Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
        sum = num1 + num2;

        // Average of num1 and num2.
        average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;

        // Display the sum of num1 + num2.
        cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

        // Display the average of num1 and num2.
        cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;
       

        return 0;
}

---

Code:

---

int main ()
{
                int num1, num2;
        float sum, average;
        num1=0; num2=0;
        sum = num1 + num2;                    //These two lines are
        average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;  //doing nothing valuable.
        cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
        cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
        cin >> num1 ; num2;  // Here's your biggest problem.
//Change that line to cin >> num1 >> num2;
        cout << endl;
       
        // Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
        sum = num1 + num2;

        // Average of num1 and num2.
        average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0; //It'd be better to use your sum variable rather that do the same computation twice.

        // Display the sum of num1 + num2.
        cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

        // Display the average of num1 and num2.
        cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;
       

        return 0;
}

That ought to fix everything necessary. Also, sum could be an int. And when you open a tag like code, you need to close it with [ /code ], except without those spaces.

//edit: he (joshdick) was posting at the same time as me -_-

you forgot the closing code tag

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int num1, num2;
  float sum, average;
  num1=0; num2=0;

  sum = num1 + num2; //not necessary
  average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0;//not necessary

  cout << "This program calculates the sum and average of two input integers." << endl;
  cout << "Please enter two integers separated by a space: ";
  cin >> num1 >> num2;
  cout << endl;

  // Add num1 + num2 for the sum.
  sum = num1 + num2;

  // Average of num1 and num2.
  average = (num1 + num2) / 2.0; //if this doesn't work (it should), try average=static_cast<float>(num1+num2)/2.0;

  // Display the sum of num1 + num2.
  cout << "The sum of your two numbers is " << sum << endl;

  // Display the average of num1 and num2.
  cout << "The average of your two numbers is " << average << endl << endl;


  return 0;
}

Thank you major small & joshdick - I was able to get it to work with your guys help!

Also thanks for the [/code]
It's only my second post (I'm obviously VERY new to C++)
and I did read the message about posting code, but forgot the closing code.

Thanks!!!

no problem... i often forget teh closing tag... just go back and edit the post...

Glad I could help. I'm also glad that I got to this post first. It's the small things in life that make me happy :)

i'm always worried that that will happen... i do all that work, then somebody like you comes along and posts before i get a chance -_- j/k... it wasn't much work, really

I'm usually worried about that too, which is why I do my best to post quickly.

Wow! If you guys are really eager to help I have a few more problems to work on.
