Rookie Debugging

Simple unterminated constant. The problem i think is with the if statement.

int main ()
{
string name;

string address;

string phonenumber;

string name;
cout<< "What is your name? ";
cin>> name;
If name="What is your name?";

name="Amy Tay";

address="3102 Peterboro Drive";

phonennumber="330-678-7557";

cout<<"\t"<<name<<\n";

cout<<"\t"<<address<<\n";

cout<<"\t"<<phonennumber<<\n";
}

#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
int age, float Weight;
age=26;
weight=180;
cout<<"My age is"<<age<<"and my weight is"<<weight<<"pounds."

I'm a rookie as well, but one thing I saw in that code was your use of header file.

You used:
#include <iostream.h
using namespace std;

I know that gives me an error when I build it.

If you are going to code:
using namespace std;

Then you want to code:
#include <iostream>

rather than:
#include <iostream.h


It doesn't compile with the error you mentioned, but will give a different error, so I'm not sure if that will help you or not.

BTW, I use vc++ so if you are using a different compiler, then it may not cause an error... not sure.

p.s. I would recommend using:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

over the .h method because .h was deprecated about 5 years ago.

Hope it helped a bit.

cout<<"\t"<<name<<\n";
cout<<"\t"<<address<<\n";
cout<<"\t"<<phonennumber<<\n";

must be ... <<"\n" or better << std::endl;

i also recommend using <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>, and 'using namespace std;', as the other poster suggested.
