VCPP hates me!!

#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.
