Code:

#include  <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
    int       DegreeF = 41;
    float     DegreeC = .55;
    DegreeC= (DegreeF-32);
    cout << "Fehreinhiet to Celsius = ";
    cout << DegreeC;
    cout << '\n';
}

i can complile and run this program, but as soon as the program shows up it closes it self. i have copied other scripts character per character and i have the same problem. i'm not sure what to do; care to help?

On the last line either put a :

cin

Code:

#include  <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
    int       DegreeF = 41;
    int       somevar;
    float     DegreeC = .55;
    DegreeC= (DegreeF-32);
    cout << "Fehreinhiet to Celsius = ";
    cout << DegreeC;
    cout << '\n';
    cin >> somevar;
}

that will wait for some input before closing or

or as long as you include the windows.h file you can use

sleep(x)

Code:

#include  <iostream.h>
#include  <windows.h>

int main(void)
{
    int       DegreeF = 41;
    float     DegreeC = .55;
    DegreeC= (DegreeF-32);
    cout << "Fehreinhiet to Celsius = ";
    cout << DegreeC;
    cout << '\n';
    sleep(5);
}

where x is the amount of time to send the program to sleep before continuing

There are other more efficient and standardized ways of doing so but the above two will both work and are relatively straight forward.

Code:

#include  <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
    int       DegreeF = 41;
    int       somevar;
    float     DegreeC = 1.8;
    DegreeC= (DegreeF-32);
    cout << "Degrees in Fahrenheit = ";
    cout << DegreeF;
    cout << '\n';
    cout << "41 degrees Fahrenheit is equilvelent to ";
    cout << DegreeC;
    cout << " Celsius";
    cout << '\n';
    cin >> somevar;
}

my new program; when i compile and run it works fine except for it outputting the wrong translation. the out for celsius is 9, it should be 5. i think if i change the formula on line 8 to devide the answer by 1.8 it should make the output be 5. care to help again?

41-32 = 9[divided by]1.8 = 5 degrees celsius.

my program goes to is "41-32 = 9" then it outputs the answer 9

A Thank You wouldnt go amiss lol.

First of!
Children complain "When will we ever use Algebra?!?" well see below :

DegreeC= (DegreeF-32); where DegreeF = 41 so if we convert it all into numbers:-

1.8 = (41-32)

So its inefficient as your formula isnt complete or making much sense.

Typically you only use variable replacements for numbers in your code if it is going to be large if it is small like this you could just forget the vars and use the numbers but for the sake of good programming here is how it should look based on your suggested formula:

As a note if you use floating variables then you should store results in a floating type in my opinion memory at this level isnt much of a biggy.

Code:

#include  <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
    int       DegreeF = 41;
    int       adjust = 32;
    int       somevar;
    float     DegreeC = 1.8;
    float     Result;
    Result = (DegreeF-adjust)/DegreeC;
    cout << "Degrees in Fahrenheit = ";
    cout << Result;
    cout << '\n';
    cout << 'DegreeF';
    cout << " degrees Fahrenheit is equilvelent to ";
    cout << Result;
    cout << " Celsius";
    cout << '\n';
    cin >> somevar;
}

thank you! i meant to put that in my post above but i got distracted before finishing it. I am quite aware that i'll need algebra--i knew that before i started to learn how to script. in two and a half years i'm going to post-secondary school to become a computer programmer; i thought if i knew C++ school would be a bit easier.

this is a exercise at the end of a chapter in a book and it wants me to use this formula:

so i put the 1.8 where the 5/9 is and i get a error and it won't compile.but i can see there are some extra steps i need to do in order for it to work. I am sorry for the delayed thank you; you have my gratitude.

EDIT: when i edited my code with your edit something didn't work right; i got some random 12 digit number. but i have resolved the problem. and again i thank you, now i can move on in the book.

Man thats confusing....i wish i knew programmming. Whats the easiest way to learn the basics?

Eriond · 01-17-2008, 11:02 PM

Easiest way to start is to take a course, to get the basics. I found that really helped. But you can do it online, it's not that much harder, especially if you have someone (I.E. this forum) you can ask when you need help. Check out this thread if you want to get started:

I'm attending computer science university and i can easily tell yuo all that teachers actually DID NOT TEACH YOU ANYTHING thay just stay there talking about frayed air for 4. .. 5 even 7 hours 'bout programming ethics . Then at the end of the course they ask you to implement a huge system from nothing.

So , actually, in my opinion the milestone from which i've started learning about programming is

" C Language" of Kernighan & Ritchie and then if you want to move to any other lenguage just buy a reference manual ..
