Need desperate C++ help, FH-OT, you've got 50 minutes!

[Aoami]

First time i've ever used C++, i'm in a lecture at uni atm. I've got to write a program to 'compute the sum, product and average of 5 numbers read in from the keyboard'

heres what i've got

#include<stdio.h>

void main()
{
float Num1, Num2, Num3, Num4, Num5;
float Sum, Product, Average;

printf("Please type in five numbers: ");
//scanf function allows the user to enter 5 numbers and store them as Num1, Num2 etc
scanf("%f%f%f%f%f", &Num1, &Num2, &Num3, &Num4, &Num5);

Sum = Num1+Num2+Num3+Num4+Num5;
Product = Num1*Num2*Num3*Num4*Num5;
Average = Sum/5;

printf("The results are: ");
printf("Sum=...... %f", Sum);
printf("Product=...... %f", Product);
printf("Average=...... %f", Average);

}

why doesn't it work :|

 

[Uara]

OMG, my mind asplodes sorry Aoami I can't help with this. If it was SQL u might have had a better chance

 

[crispy]

Why it not work? Doesnt compile or what?

Bad style to keep variables with capitalized first letter also!

 

[Cadelin]

Tell us the error you get.

 

[Aoami]

I don't get an error, it compiles but closes straight away!

This is why it's shit!

it also displays the answer when i type the numbers in but closes straight after

 

[Aoami]

It was working after all, i was compiling in the wrong mode

 

[Uara]

lol poor Aoami

[leviathane]

it's a silly place

 

[Aoami]

Now i've got 10 mins to write 'a program that will 3 numbers from the keyboard and print the largest one on the screen using 2 variables.' Can someone do it for me?

 

[Uara]

Aoami, didn't you realise your degree would involve this when you signed up

 

[old.Tohtori]

I have a solution, but since you were so rude in title, bossy and didn't even say please, meh

 

[Aoami]

yeah but like i turned up an hour late for the workshop so i'm well behind

 

[Aoami]

I was in a rush!

if you want to have the result display afterwards, just add something at the end to ask the user to press enter to finish, and then have another prompt for input.
I won't do it for you though, besides, you've got most of what you need in your first post
with a console app, which this is classed as, you need some way of telling windows to keep the console open to display the result, otherwise it just closes it straight away. it's like going to the run command on windows and telling it to run "dir". it'll open a window, show a directory listing, and close it straight away.

oh, and just a small tip, for variable names, i find it handy to name them in a way that they stand out as variables. I usually use names like sText for a string, iNumber for an integer bBool for a boolean and so on, a lower case letter, then caps first letter, makes it obvious it's a variable, and what type of variable it is, and also means you don't accidently use a reserved word

 

[Dukat]

What Syri said! Sorry Aoami I was at work

It works, its just closing as soon as its finished so you dont get a chance to see the output.

You've technicly done enough there as it doesnt actually specify anything about the length of time you have to display the results I would try to blag my way out!

camelCase ftw.

Doing a similar thing on my degree except it's bog standard C.

I wanna do C++.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Please use something like pastebin - collaborative debugging tool or at least

-tags, then maybe more will have a look at your code.

No you don't.
Stop being stupid!

You need to type.

What will you say on the day of your wedding ?

I've got all night to shag my new wife silly before we go on honeymoon, but I don't know how to do it. Will someone shag her for me ?

 

[Aoami]

Clearly not.

Aha, so lamp thinks coding C++ is like shagging. Should have known!

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

It sometimes indeed is.

R U A VIRGIN?

No, but ive never done any garbage collecting while in bed

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

No you don't.
Stop being stupid!

Why not? There is shit and good C++ code, and something between ofc .

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Then maybe the chick you had with you in bed has been referenced by others?

*giggle*

And this is the reason you had to sell your DaoC account for sex!

Learn C#.NET

 

[Syri]

just to add a bit to this for future reference.
Found a more efficient way to do it when i was fishing around for something completely different. there's another library you can include to use some system commands, one of these being a standard pause for a key. i've got a basic example below that uses it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


char sName [80];

int main()
{
	printf("what is your name? :>");
	scanf("%s",sName);
	printf("\nHello %s \n\n",&sName);
	system("PAUSE");
	return 1;
}
