Hey I am trying to teach myself C++ and i am having trouble with a measurement converter I am pretty sure my problem is in the line
but i don't know how else to write it, this is my code:
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Yards = Meters * 1.094;
but i don't know how else to write it, this is my code:
#include <iostream>
namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "welcome to my measurement converter.";
cout << "This converter will convert meters to yards.\n";
cout << "Enter the number of meters.\n";
int Meters;
int Yards;
cin >> Meters;
Yards = Meters * 1.094;
cout << Meters << " meters is equal to " << Yards << " yards";
return 0;
}Your help would be greatly appreciated
2 things.
Change :
then change:
to:
Int can only be integer values So: 1, 4 , 300, 5632 etc etc.
But you need some digits after the comma, so you need the double data-type
Change :
namespace std; to using namespace std; . Your code shouldn't compile without changing it.then change:

Want better/more replies to your questions? Wrap your code in [code] [/code] tags!
The mistake is that you are using integers (the set 0,1,2,3 and -1 etc)
to represent floating point number.
write
instead of the two int declarations.
to represent floating point number.
int a=2*1.2;
gives sets a to 2.write

Thanks for the help niek_e and StuXYZ it works perfectly now and i cant believe i forgot to put using before namespace.
