Re: program help

n = k*3;
In this line, what are the values of n and k ?
Did you put that line in the right place?

You haven't even got the user input.

set up variables properly:

int k = 0;
int n = 0;

prompt the user:

cout << "type a freaking number --> ";

get the input

cin >> k;

multiply by three:

n = k*3;

then display the new result:

cout << endl << n;

You haven't even got the user input.

set up variables properly:

int k = 0;
int n = 0;

prompt the user: <<syntax error

cout << "type a freaking number --> "; <<politeness error

get the input <<syntax error

cin >> k;

multiply by three: <<syntax error

n = k*3;

then display the new result: <<syntax error

cout << endl << n;

I don't think that compiles without errors?

Wow. Your stupidity becomes more prevalent with each post. I know you're still pissed about me letting you know how stupid your other post is, but that's not reason to carry over into someone elses thread. If you have a problem, then PM me and stop your fagish whining.

It's a joke my friend, I better stop because your fagish whining is getting me and everyone else depressed.

Re: program help

Try this?

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
 
int main()
 
{
int k,n;
k = 0;
n = 0;
cout<<"type a number";
cin>>k;
n=k*3;
cout<<endl<<n;
 
system ("pause"); /* execute M$-DOS' pause command */
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main()

{
int k,n;
k = 0;
n = 0;
cout<<"type a number";
cin>>k;
n=k*3;
cout<<endl<<n;

system ("pause"); /* execute M$-DOS' pause command */
return 0;
}

Re: program help

Okay children, stop the name calling!
grunge man, you forgot to iclude <iostream>

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <cstdlib>   // system()
#include <iostream>  // cout, cin, endl
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
   int k, n;
 
    cout<<"type a number: ";
    cin >> k;
    n = k*3;
    cout << "\ntimes three = " << n << endl;   
 
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;  // optional with C++
}
#include <cstdlib>   // system()
#include <iostream>  // cout, cin, endl

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int k, n;

    cout<<"type a number: ";
    cin >> k;
    n = k*3;
    cout << "\ntimes three = " << n << endl;   
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;  // optional with C++
}
