I've tried everything but this program won't run. If I plug in numbers for length, width, and depth it won't tell me the cost to resurface. Any suggestions?

//prb01-1.cpp
//This program calculates the total surface area of a pool and the cost to resurface it

#include <iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>

//using namespace std;

int main()
{

    int depth,length,width,total;
    int surface;
    const double PRICE_SQ = 3;      
//obtain input data

cout<<"\nEnter the length in feet";
cin>>length;
cout<<"\nEnter width in feet";
cin>>width;
cout<<"\nEnter depth in feet";
cin>>depth;

//Do the calculations
surface=2*depth*(length+width)+length*width;

//Display the results
cout << "\n length ="<<length;
cout << "\n width="<<width;
cout << "\n depth="<<depth;
cout << "\n total surface area="<<surface;
cout << "\n cost="<<surface * PRICE_SQ << endl;

return 0;
}

You posted exactly the same problem a few days ago, and there was an answer with an working example. Did you take a look on it?

>It didn't work.
Then you didn't do it right. Try again and don't post the same question in a new thread again. If it still doesn't work, tell us exactly how it doesn't work as opposed to how you think it should work.

Now closing this thread. Please keep the discussion going in the same thread as before. If you need me to merge these two threads, please let me know.
