Hello!! I have started learning c++ and it has been a real sucess until now. My codes that worked before and those that im trying to use now, doesn't work.. I get a compiler error... Here is the code and the error: // tutorialearning.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdafx.h>


int doubleNumber(int x)
{
	return 2 * x;
}

int main()
{   
        using namespace std;
	cout << "Number to double: " << endl;
	cin >> x;
	cout << "Doubled number: " << doublenumber(x) << endl;
	return 0;
}

And im getting this in the compiler when i try to build:

1>------ Build started: Project: tutorialearning, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

I really appreciate if you help me and such, thank you!!

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int doubleNumber(int x)
{
	return 2 * x;
}

int main()
{   
	cout << "Number to double: " << endl;
	cin >> x;
	cout << "Doubled number: " << doublenumber(x) << endl;
	return 0;
}

Still not working mate, same errors

of course it does not work because;
You are using a variable x without declaring it first.
You declare the functions doubleNumber but call doublenumber. They are different, C++ is case sensitive.

here it is fixed:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int doubleNumber(int x)
{
	return 2 * x;
}

int main()
{   
	int x;
	cout << "Number to double: " << endl;
	cin >> x;
	cout << "Doubled number: " << doubleNumber(x) << endl;
	return 0;
}

> #include <stdafx.h>
Delete this line,

then do
Project->Settings->Compiler (or pre-processor - depends on which VS you have).

Look for the option that configures "use precompiled headers".
Then turn it OFF.

Thank you Gangsta, I fixed that but I still get one of the errors, I think it's something that Salem talks about.. Salem I cannot find that option, im using

Visual Studio C++ 2008

And I really think that's how to fix this problem, please if you can clarify where that settning is, I have searched everywhere. Thank you

EDIT: I fixed it, searched google and found an answer! Thank you mate, I have learned lot's of things from you guys! Here is the fix for any googlers:

Project -> "projectname" Properties  ->Configuration properties -> C++ ->  Precompiled Headers -> Not Using Precompiled Headers

go to
project->properties->configuration properties->C/C++ -> precompiled headers

on the right panel, set Create/Use precompiled Header as "Not Using Precompiled Headers" from the options of drop-down box.
