Thread: c++ error ??? :s

hey ,

im trying a few stuff in c++ but if i try this it just wont seem to work :s
could someone get out the errors pls ?


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Pleas tell me your name?"<<endl;
char name;
cin>>name;
cout<<"Hello "<<name<<endl;
cout<<"i saw u playing today,"<<endl;
cout<<"u where playing a great fight..."<<endl;
cout<<"Howmany kills u made in a row today ?"<<endl;
cout<<"pleas insert a number."<<endl;
int a;
cin >> a;
if(a = 1)
{
cout<<"1 kill isn't much"<<endl;
}
else
cout<<"work in progress"<<endl;
system("PAUSE"); return 0;
}

o ye btw this program should do :

- ask for your name
- dysplay your name with the text ...
- ask u howmany kills in a row u made
- tells u something from that amount ..

errors :

only dysplays 1 char
doesnt even ask howmany kills in a row
does tell u something but its not right -.-

Neg's comments should get you going, but Thor, you should know, a char isn't just one letter.

A char is a simple array of characters.
It can be as long as you want it to be.

I.E.: "char[7] name = "Johnny";" or "char *buf = someStuff;"

ok ty guys gonna test it ^^

but how to do int name then ?? ? ?? ? ? ? ?

No, he's right. A char is just a single byte character, as you can see in the code there is no array or pointer declared.

Replace

Code:

char name;

with

Code:

char name[256];

So you have an array of 256 characters to store the name in, as opposed to a single character.

null, his else statement is correct, it just doesn't look it because the formatting is screwed up.

ye but i cant put in a number and i got a second prob with the calculator i need to make ...
it just wont work correct

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int y,x;
cout << "Whats the first number ?"<<endl;

cin >> y;

cout << "Whats the second number?"<<endl;

cin >> x;

char todo;

int a,d,m,s;

cout << "What do you want to do? ( subbstract,divide,multiply,add)";

cin >> todo;

if (todo = a);
{
cout << y+x;
}
if (todo = s);
{
cout << y-x;
}
if (todo = m);
{
cout << y*x;
}
while (todo = d);
{
cout << y/x;
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

if (todo = s);

{

while (todo = d);

}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

sry but you need to learn to read the help given

if (todo == a)

not

if (todo = a);

Change the rest of your if and your while blocks. Also, ";" signifies the END of a statement, so your ifs and whiles won't work.
