Hey guys im trying to write a code to give me Arthimetic mean and standard deviation for 4 Integer values... i don't know what im doing wrong it's not letting me compile any ideas??

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

int X1;
int X2;
int X3;
int X4;
double Sol1,Sol2;
int mean;

cout<<"---*******Arthimetic Mean And Standard Deviation Calculator*******---";
cout<<"\n\nEnter The First Integer value:";
cin>>X1;
cout<<"Enter The Second Integer Value:";
cin>>X2;
cout<<"Enter The Third Integer Value:";
cin>>X3;
cout<<"Enter The Forth Integer Value:";
cin>>X4;

{
Sol1=(X1+X2+X3+X4)/4.0;


Sol2=sqrt(X1 - mean)^2  + (X2 - mean)^2 + (X3 - mean)^2 + (X4 - mean)^2 /3.0;



cout<<"\n\nThe Arthimetic Mean is:"<< Sol1 <<"\n\n and " <<"\n\nThe Standard Deviation is:"<<Sol2 << endl;
cout<<"\n\n\n*********************End Of Calculation************************";

}

cin.get();cin.get();

return 0;

}

On line 32 you are using mean without ever initializing it.

:/ i thought i declared it already

Can someone review the code for me please

There are several errors. The biggest one is to write (X2 - mean)^2 since the ^2 does not mean power, but actually means xor.

If you want power, you have to write either pow(value,2.0) or you could of course do value*value.

Note that you don't initialize mean, and mean is declared as an integer, this is not a good idea, since the average is unlikely to be an integer. E.g. 1,1,2,2 the average is 1.5

Sol1 is actually your average (as you calculated it)

ok i changed a few things following what you said... it compiles now but then tells me The variable 'mean' is being used without being initialized.
I declared it as a floating number.

Declaring a variable and initializing it are two different things. This declares mean:

float mean;

But this initializes it:

float mean = 0.0;

This works, too:

float mean;
mean = 0.0;

Also, are you sure this is correct?

Sol2=sqrt(X1 - mean)*2 + (X2 - mean)*2 + (X3 - mean)*2 + (X4 - mean)*2/3.0;

Make sure that those parentheses are placed correctly...

Oh Thanks alot man. And everybody else who helped.

Float deals in 1.2 and numbers in POINT values.. that's why u were having the problem in this code..!!
