i just started to read C++ for dummys and i have coded a CONVERTER for tempature using the tutorial and when i run it through the compiler i get an error on line 13, the complier im using is dev C++ ....

could some one look through the code to see what the mistake is .. i have just started to LEAN C++

Code: [Select]//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree units:
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Farhrenheit = Celsius *(212 - 32)/100 +32
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofargs, char* pszArgs[])
{
//ENTER the temperature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius :" ;
cin >> celsius;

// calculate cinversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
intfactor;
factor = 212 -32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32 ;

//output the results (followed by Newline)
cout << Fahrenheit value is :";
cout << fahrenheit << endl ;

// wait untill user is READY befor terminating program
// to allow the user to see the program results
system( "PAUSE");
RETURN 0;
}
Not knowing much about C++, I found all the corrections on Google (hint, hint)

Code: [Select]//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree units:
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Farhrenheit = Celsius *(212 - 32)/100 +32
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofargs, char* pszArgs[])
{
//enter the temperature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius :" ;
cin >> celsius;

// calculate cinversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 212 -32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32 ;

//output the results (followed by Newline)
cout << "Fahrenheit value is :";
cout << fahrenheit << endl ;

// wait untill user is ready befor terminating program
// to allow the user to see the program results
system( "PAUSE");
return 0;
}

1) cout and cin require a #include <iostream> statement
2) intfactor - two words; it's a declaration not a variable name
3) RETURN works as lowercase; C++ must be case sensitive

Once the compiler bugs are worked out, the program seems to work. Any plans to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Good luck.
