BleepingComputer.com: nooby need help with code c++

whats wrong with my code

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main(void)
{
system("TITLE Calculator"); //this makes the title change when i programme
system("COLOR 2"); // makes it look different green writing black background

char cChar; //character as in + / a b
double dfirstnumber;
double dsecondnumber;
char cDoagain


;do
{
system("CLS");

std::cout << "please enter the first number you would like to use " << endl;

cin >> dfirstnumber;

std::cout << "please enter the operation you would like to use (+, -, / and * )" << endl;

cin >> cChar;

std::cout << "please enter the second number you would like to use " << endl;

cin >> dsecondnumber

;switch (cChar)//anilises which code is the most apropriet so if you pick the + statment is will go through the plus set of code aka a different kind of if
{
case '+';
std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' + ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber + dsecondnumber)<<endl;
break;
case '-';
std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' - ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber - dsecondnumber)<<endl;
break;
case '*';
std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' * ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber * dsecondnumber)<<endl;
break;
case '/';
if (dsecondnumber == 0) (
std::cout << "invaled operation " << endl;
)else(

std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' / ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber / dsecondnumber)<<endl;
break;


}
break;
default:
std::cout << "invaled operation" << endl;
break;

nooby needs help please its driving me insane

Exactly what the compiler's telling you. You're missing ;s in your code.

You also have what appears to be the start of a do-while loop, but there is no end brace, and no while/condition.

In one case, you also appear to have too many ;s:

;system("pause");

It's usually a good idea to put the ;s at the end of your statements rather than at the beginning of the next statement.

ye but my main problem it the 1>c:\documents and settings\joseph\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\me trying part 2\me trying part 2\me trying part 2.cpp(35) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ':' before ';'

were am i missing a : there are so many ; im confused

What is the content of lines 34, 35, and 36?

Billy3

ok i fixed my old problems all but

error C2059: syntax error : 'default'

and the same thing but with identifier and system at end

i am not known, on Nov 22 2008, 06:56 PM, said:

I suspect a problem with the number if {}s. Ensure that your default: statement is contained within the block defined for the switch.

Billy3

hey it worked now all i need to do is fix
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'system'

thanks

Put the ; on the line it ends where it belongs, and see if the compiler no longer chokes.

You also may need to include cstdlib:
#include <cstdlib>
or alternately
#include <stdlib.h>

Billy3

no still not working i have used system("pause") before i don't know whats wrong

Well noone here can help unless you post the code

Billy3

sorry

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main(void)
{
	system("TITLE Calculator"); //this makes the title change when i programme
	system("COLOR 2"); // makes it look different green writing black background
	
	char cChar; //character as in + / a b
	double dfirstnumber;
	double dsecondnumber;
	char cDoagain


;do
{	
	system("CLS");
	
	std::cout << "please enter the first number you would like to use " << endl;
	
	cin >> dfirstnumber;
	
	std::cout << "please enter the operation you would like to use (+, -, / and * )" << endl;
	
	cin >> cChar;

	std::cout << "please enter the second number you would like to use " << endl;

	cin >> dsecondnumber

;switch (cChar)//anilises which code is the most apropriet so if you pick the + statment is will go through the plus set of code aka a different kind of if
	{
		  case '+':;
		  std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' + ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber + dsecondnumber)<< endl;
		  break;
		  case '-':;
		  std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' - ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber - dsecondnumber)<< endl;
		  break;
		  case '*':;
		  std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' * ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber * dsecondnumber)<< endl;
		  break;
		  case '/':;
			  if (dsecondnumber == 0) (
				  std::cout << "invaled operation " << endl);
			  else(

		  std::cout << "The anwser is! " << dfirstnumber << ' / ' << dsecondnumber << '=' << (dfirstnumber / dsecondnumber)<< endl);
		  break;

	default: 
	std::cout << "invaled operation" << endl;
	break;
	}	
		





		
}


system("pause");
return 0;

}

I am not following your logic. Billy suggested some changes, which you obviously didn't do. And you think it will work without making the changes because....?

@Billy: The compiler ignores white space, so the fact that the semi-colon is not where it is supposed to be doesn't matter. Of course, to humans trying to help someone debug their problems, it is a huge irritation. I won't even look at improperly formatted code anymore.

That's true.. just thinking it may have ticked off a bug in the compiler ;)
