Hi guys can you guys help me cut this line into three lines because it is too long right now. I've tried using \n and endl but it ends up having errors when i compile it.
cout << "The average rainfall for "<<month1<<, "<<month2<<" and "<<month3<<" is: " << average << " inches"<< endl;
I need to seperate that into three lines so it displays like this.
The average rainfall for
January, February, and March
is: ____ inches.
You're missing a quote before the comma.
Can't you just split it up like,Quote:

oh i didnt see that, but how do i seperate the line ?
hey nuzzle it didnt work when i did that.
Do you honestly think that "it didn't work" is useful diagnostic information? Details!
lol sorry it says
line 23: warning #2236-D:controlling expression is constant
cout << " << month1 <<"," << month2 <<" and " << month3 <<" endl;
^
line 23: warning #2236-D:controlling expression is constant
cout << " << month1 <<"," << month2 <<" and " << month3 <<" endl;
^
line 23: error #2065: expected a ";"
cout << " << month1 <<"," << month2 <<" and " << month3 <<" endl;
^
the arrows under the lines are actually under the parantheses before << month2, the parantheses before <<month3 and under the E in endl..
If you are wanting to print the " symbol, you must put the escape character in front of it.
Did you not just straight copy/paste what nuzzle posted?Code:cout << "\"" << month1 << "\"" << endl;
i dont want to display the " symbol, i just want it to say
The average rainfall for
January, February and March
is ____ inches.
Your errors show otherwise.
Well, then you have some minor complication somewhere. If you comment out the problematic line, does the rest compile?Quote:

okay i seperated it into three lines, now i am suppose to type it in two lines but have it show in one line when i compile it. how do i do this? so far i have.
cout << "The average rainfall for "<<month1<<, "<<month2<<" and "<<month3<<" is: " << average << " inches"<< endl;
I have to type that in 2 line so its shorter, but when I compile it can only show in one line.
You mean me?Quote:

I'm sorry for that. Will I be accused of helping with homework now?
