This is my first programming project, and I really need some help

Okay. I'm new to programming and I'm currently taking online C++ programming classes.

I'm doing this project involving hurricanes. I compiled this program into the C++ Compiler

This is the program I placed in there.

//Project 1

#include <stdhx>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
double lat1; lat2; long1; long2; leg1; leg2;
cout <<"Enter value for Latitude"<<;
cin >> lat1;
cout <<"Enter second value for latitude<<;
cin >> lat2;
cout << "Enter Value for Longitude";
cin >> long1;
cout << "Enter 2nd value for longitude";
cin >> long2;
leg1 = = lat2-lat1;
leg2 = = long2 - long1;
cout << "First leg =" <<leg1<<endl;
cout << Second leg =" <<leg2 <<endl;

return 0;

}

Here I found 20 errors I couldn't really read. If you want to see them , please let me know.

Thank you so much for your help.

Is this in Microsoft Visual Studio? If so, what type of project did you select to start with?

This is in Microsoft studio.
And I think I used WIN32 Console project.

Try changing this,

Code:

---

double lat1; lat2; long1; long2; leg1; leg2;

---

to this

Code:

---

double lat1, lat2, long1, long2, leg1, leg2;

---

and also this

Code:

---

leg1 = = lat2-lat1;

---

probably doesn't do what you think it does.

That leg1 is supposed to be a variable.

So I can't write x == a +b?

== means evaluation like if (a == b)
= means assign like a = c+2

So using double equal there means you are testing logic, not assigning a value. It appears to be that you mean to assign a value because testing logic without any type of conditional statement (if, while, for, etc...) would not make sense.c
