No semicolon: cin>>oper

And none here: return 0 you ol' VB programmer :D

ok, still don't think thats giving me that error though...it doesn't even attempt to compile the code.

nope, that didn't do a thing... anyone care to compile it and see if it works for them?? (it doesn't do anything but accept the input as of yet.)

It works for me.

But your escape character is wrong. Use a backslash instead of a forward slash.

cl.exe is the compiler. If msdev is having trouble finding it, it means it's probably not there, or in the wrong place. I would re-install VC++.

Z.

hm... its giving me errors in borland too (but its prolly cuz i've never used borland befor so im prolly screwing something up). I think ill try re-installing VC++ and seeing if that fixes it.

yeah, thx zaei... i posted that id try re-installing right after you posted so i didn't see your post. It is where its supposed to be, i checked... i think it just don't like me. Well ill be back soon i gotta re-start and re-install.

god damned piece of sh*t still won't work, i restarted, re-intalled, and still got the error!!!!!!!!!!

strange, it worked perfectly well for me too. Can't or shouldn't be the code, are you sure that you've installed everything correct? maybe something screwed up during installation.......?

PHP Code:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
    int num1;
    int num2;
    int total;
    char oper;

    cout << "what is number1\n";
    cin >> num1;

    cout << "what is number2\n";
    cin >> num2;

    cout << "what sign shall i use\n in the middle of the two?";
    cin >> oper;

    cout << "what is the total\n";
    cin >> total;

    cout << "am i correct in saying that " << num1 << 
        oper << num2 << "=" << total << "?";

    return 0;
}

That worked for me :) Also, whenever you use cin, make sure to use cin.ignore() after that so you dont have any cariage return (\n or \r) on your cin buffer.

i got it almost working, i had to change the environmental settings because of a previous un-finished un-install.
