My 1st C++ program advice needed

Oct 2nd, 2005

Hi... thru trial & error.. I managed to get my homework program to compile. However I'm pretty sure I did it the long way :-| . Can someone give me a direction to make it easier? Brand new to C++ so bear with me. I have enough to make the teacher happy but I'm not. I copy and pasted my source code directly from Visual C++ 6.0:

How do I get my output to print on my printer ?? All I see is a "DOS" type screen popup which does not give me an option to print it. I suppose I could ask my teacher tomorrow but it would be great if I didnt have to.
