#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int SomeVariable = 5;
cout << "SomeVariable: " << SomeVariable << "\n";

int *pVar = & SomeVariable;

int pVar = 9;
cout << "SomeVariable: " << *pVar << "\n";


return 0;
}


does anyone know whats wrong with this code?
i'm in HS and i suck at C++.

I'd help you if I could but C++ is next year for me.

Fire Ant,

Also, I think you are declaring that variable twice. I don't program in C++, so maybe that's something you can do with pointers or something. But generally you declare the variable once like

int whatever = 0;

But then to assign it a value, you just go

whatever = 20,000,000;

You don't need to repeat the "int" every time.

Good luck, it might suck to be working on this now, but someday you'll hate something else WAAY more than this. Hmmm.... Ok, that probably didn't make you feel any better, so I'll stop now.

P.S. And three gunn, I still remember my Dad going out to buy one of the first handheld calculators sold commercially. The thing was about the size of a brick, no kidding. And teachers in my school were of the firm opinion that no machine would ever replace the mimeograph, that modern marvel.

It would help if you posted the errors also, I'll help ya if I can.

It says when I compile his code:

[BitterBeerFace]

Yes, you should only decalre int once, that's actually a command to initialize a vairable of "integer" type. Everytime you have "int" before something, it'll try to make a variable with that name, if you do it twice, it'll choke on compile.

First off, it'd be nice to know what the code is supposed to do.

It's been forever since I did any C++, but I think if you're just doing a little code to make a variable, and have it display the value of the variable, it'd be this:

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int SomeVariable = 5;
cout << "SomeVariable: " << SomeVariable <<;
return 0;
}

That'd display "SomeVariable: 5"

Now then, if you're doing it to allow you to manipulate the variable by entering a value from the keyboard, you'll have to use the "cin >>" command to get a value from the keyboard.

I won't do the code for that, but hopefully that'll help ya get on the right track

Hehehe, I dont do any C++ but i do fill my time with programming the TI-83 calculators. In my free time (school) i have made such classics as "GUESSNUM", and "DANCE", and let us not forget "MOOKA" hehehe, they use a psuedo basic language, right now i am working on "CIRCULAR"
My best program has about 150 lines and gets about 1fps...

[Lin Sivvi Defiant Hero]

lol! I program on the ti-83 too! I don't make complex stuff, but I make programs that solve stuff for me, I'm lazy Those calculators can handle assembly, I never bothered to learn it, but the assembly games are really neat.

Btw: I really don't know what the * in the variable name means, can someone tell me?

Well, this is enough of me carrying this post off topic, I gotta shutup
