Whats wrong with this code?

[|2eM!x]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
cint >> x;
{
	switch (x) {;
	 Case 1:
		cout << "X = 1";
		Case 2:
			Cout << "x=2";
				Case 3:
					cout << "x =3";
					Case else
						cout << "x =";
					cout << n;
    }
	system( "pause" )
		 return 0;
}

i get this:

ompiling...
Cpp1.cpp
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Projects\Cpp1.cpp(6) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'cint'

Its before the opening '{' following the 'main' function. Plus i think you want 'cin' not 'cint'

Don't forget that with a case statement, the code will run all code from the first matching case statement. For example if x is 1 it'll run all of the case statements.
Use the 'break' keyword to get out of the switch statement after you've done stuff specific to that case.

#include <iostream> //<iostream.h> is deprecated

using namespace std;

int main()
cin >> x;
{
	switch (x) {;
	 Case 1:
		cout << "X = 1";
		break;
		Case 2:
			Cout << "x=2";
			break;
				Case 3:
				 cout << "x =3";
					break;
					Case else
						cout << "x =";
							cout << n;
								break;
    }
	system( "pause" )
		 return 0;
}

thanks for the break, but can you explain this, or show me how youd do it:
ts before the opening '{' following the 'main' function. Plus i think you want 'cin' not 'cint'

C++ is case-sensitive. You must write "case".

int main()
cin >> x;
{

You've got the order of the lines mixed up here. The "{" should be before the "cin >> x;"

	switch (x) {;

This semicolon is misplaced.

Case else

"case else" doesn't exist. It's called "default" and needs a colon like all the case marks.

thanks, (case else = vb )

#include <iostream> //<iostream.h> is deprecated

using namespace std;

int main();
{
cin >> x;

switch(x){ ;
	 Case 1:
		cout << "X = 1";
		break;
		Case 2:
			Cout << "x=2";
			break;
				Case 3:
				 cout << "x =3";
					break;
					default;
						cout << "x =";
							cout << n;
								break;
    }
	system( "pause" )
		 return 0;
}

You didn't remove the semicolon as I told you, and there's another wrong one at the end of the main() line.

'x' : undeclared identifier

Ever seen what happens when you enable Option Strict in VB?

'Case' : undeclared identifier

It's a matter of case. (BTW, that's the second time I need to tell you this.)

All C2143 errors are follow-ups.

'n' : undeclared identifier

Big surprise, when you called the variable 'x' earlier.

I think you need to unlearn VB before you can learn C++. I also think you need to learn to read the answers to your questions and apply what is in there - everything, not just a single thing.

im sorry, didnt see this part at all

C++ is case-sensitive. You must write "case".

ill stop buggin you, you seem really angry/ornery...
