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:

cout << " is: " << average << " inches" << endl;
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?
can someone help me with this? i've spent hours on this program in general and i can't seem to get it.
Calm down and post the exact code that's not compiling.Quote:

Of course not, I'm referring to the code that was generating the error messages above in post 7. Why would you assume I was referring to you? Actually I'm saying essentially the same thing as jnmacd, he just managed to say it a few seconds earlier.Quote:

That's good to know. The less you get in my way the better.Quote:

That's all right, I don't particular like you either.
And the issue wasn't with you helping. Helping is great. It was about you solving, completely, the presented question. That's not helpful, and it's against the board policy. But you think you know better, don't you? You think you're smarter than everyone else here. And I'm sure you are smarter than many. But your refusal to accept any sort of criticism (no matter how trivlal) escalated that little incident well beyond where it needed to go. As it seems to every single time anyone corrects you on any little detail, no matter how trivial or understandable the mistake. It's okay to simply say "Fair enough" and move on, you know.
Fear not, I haven't corrected you here.
Of course you don't like me. I'm smarter than you and you're not used to that.Quote:

I reply the way I see fit.
Are you kidding? I'm plenty used to that. I work with some very smart people. I try to learn from those who know more than me about a particular subject. I've learned plenty from my time on here.Quote:

The defense rests.Quote:

To avoid derailing another thread I'm leaving it at that. I don't like arguing with you. Or anyone, really. Something about your manner just hits all of my buttons the wrong way.
You feel you always have the upper hand, don't you? Other people's nothing but a "learning experience" to you.Quote:

I tell you one thing. Regardless of whether you "like" it or not you better get used to arguing with me.Quote:

Backatcha!Quote:

Well thank you. I just wanted to show you what I'm capable of.Quote:

If you mean you're better at being annoying, then yes, absolutely.
Now, you've managed to tear this thread way off-topic for absolutely no good reason. I'm done helping you with that. All because you couldn't infer the correct context of a reply despite its obvious relation to a previous post.
For whatever reason you've decided to make this personal. Maybe I'll just leave your mistakes for someone else to point out next time, since you clearly can't tolerate me doing so.
I think I draw the line here for today.Quote:

It'll be exactly the same as the show-in-three-lines code, except with fewer endls.Quote:

That's OK, I think Lindley and Nuzzle just killed the thread...Quote:

@Sabensohn70
If you are still reading this thread, I think it is time you start studying your classes, and proof reading your code. No offense, but no one should need this much help for a simple cout program. Maybe you are just a little lazy, and hope people here would help you, which could explain that.
But if you are truly having difficulties with this, it's either time to buy a good book and study hard, or start worrying :/
Good griefQuote:

No, you're not even close IMHO.Quote:

Yeah, I know.....Quote:
