Help with C++ program

[Kotik]

I gotta make a C++ program untill Monday for school. Its the deadline for handing in our programs. So I gotta make one by the end of this weekend. But the problem is I dont know what to make a program about?

The things that the program should have is a Switch funtion and some IF, ELSE commands.

Now, does anyone have a suggestion of what kind of a program I could make?

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Like what? I dont really get what you mean.

HELP ME SOMEBODY. I'm getting a panic.

Any sites where I could get some simple c++ programs that I could use as examples?

[Kotik]

#include <iostream.h>

main ()
{
int val;
int num = 1;

cout << "Please choose a number between 1 to 9 \n";
cin >> val;

if (val < 10)
{
num += 1
cout << val " * " num " = " val(num) "\n";
}
else cout << "This is a multiplying program";

return 0;
}


It gives an error where the red text appears. Anyone knows whats wrong there?

I'm trying to make a program that multiplies the digit you choose (val). Num is the digit val has to multiply with.

I want it to be like
val * num = val*num (num here is 1)
num = num+1 (num now becomes 2)
val * num = val*num (now val multiplies with 2)

The program is to go on in the same manner untill num=10.

you're not using cout with the correct syntax

try something like

Code: Select all

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
  int val;
  int num=0;

  cout << "Enter a value, kthx:";
  cin >> val;

  if(val < 10){
    cout << "You entered a very small number\n\n";
  }else if (val < 20){
    cout << "You entered a decent sized number\n\n";
  }else{
    cout << "You entered a pretty big number\n\n";
  }

  cout << "Lets check out a times tables based on your number!\n\n";

  while(num < 10){
    cout << val << " * " << num << " = " << val * num << endl;
    num++;
  }

  cout << "Well, thats all!\n";

  return 0;
}

Thanx alot dude !! That is an ideal program I would need to make!!!

Just one question. Does the program work on Borland C++? I forgot to say that I must program everything in Turbo C++ IDE. Pretty dull but I got no choice.

     while(num < 10){
       cout << val << " * " << num << " = " << val * num << endl;
       num++;
     }



The program is great but I will still need to understand every part of it incase the teach asks me a question.

What does endl; and num++; do?

endl = end line
num++ = ( num = num + 1 )

{EDIT}
Oh, this code will work in any Windows-based compiler, if you want Unix/Linux based code just ask

[Kotik]

num++; will come handy !

Thanks alot man !! You have no idea how much your help will imorove my grades!
