Hello every one, i just this morning, ive been working one it all god dang night. . . AND still on the first chapter (sad huh?). Any way, i am getting this error the says as follows: "Program exit code: -1 (0xffffffff)" Can some one that knows MS-DOS and/or C++ for dummies help me? Thanks in advance

i mean i just got a copy of C++ for dummies, sorry, extreamly sleepy, thanks again.

You''re not posting any code or anything we can help you with. How are we supposed to help you!?

exit codes are NOT a way to understand the error. give the code, we give the help.

Firstly, is it void main() ?

maybe the program is just exiting when it is done

try adding this to the end of main()

cout << "press any key to continue !!!!!!!!";char bob;cin >> bob;  

(you might need to write std::cin and std::coutinstead of cin and cout)

theres an edit button to edit your posts. read the forum faq as well.

and look for this:

return -1;

Oh, ok, didnt know you needed the code (sorry).

the is as follows:


//
// Program to convert tenperature from Celsius degree
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212 - 32)/100 + 32
//
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int nNimberifArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
// enter the temerature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout <<"Enter the temperature in Celsius;";
cin >> celsius;

// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 212 - 32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;

// output the results
cout << "Fahrenheit value is:";
cout << fahrenheit;

return 0;
}


And thats the code, thats what you need right? thanks for your help .

Nope, that didnt work, i tryed adding the ; but still the same error. . . . thanks though.

Try adding semicolons to those 2 lines (you had a colon in the first one, and nothing in the next one)


cout <<"Enter the temperature in Celsius:";
cin >> celsius;
