Total Newbie Question

Hey, this is slightly embarrassing.

I'm a complete newbie and most will probably laugh when you see my question or something, i'unno. Anyway, basically, I'm trying to learn C++ and I've just started today, learning about variables and some simple calculation stuff, so I decided to try making a simple program to see if I knew how to use what I learnt, so I tried this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int Adj = 10;
    float Opp = 12.662;
    float Hyp = Opp + Adj;
    cout << "The hypoteneuse is" << Hyp << ;
   
    return 0;
}

---

I'm not really sure about the return 0, I figured I just better put it there. The compiler says that in Line 10 (the cout one), expected primary expression before ";" token? I don't know :s

If anyone can help, that'd be appreciated...

Change this:

Code:

---

cout << "The hypoteneuse is" << Hyp << ;

---

To this:

Code:

---

cout << "The hypoteneuse is" << Hyp;

---

Try this

Code:

---

int main()
{
    int Adj = 10;
    float Opp = 12.662;
    float Hyp = Opp + Adj;
    cout << "The hypoteneuse is" << Hyp <<endl ;
   
    return 0;
}

---

Ah thanks... Omg

I tried using end1 as in endONE, not endL

It looks like a one! lol

And I also tried \n but I don't know why that didn't work...

It's an escape sequence. These operate inside strings.

Code:

---

cout << "new line after this\n" << endl;
cout << "new line after this" << "\n" << endl;

---

Both produce the same output. The text "new line after this" followed by 2 empty lines (one from "\n" and another from endl.
