I have to complete this exercise in the book im reading but for some reason the code I use doesn''t work.
Exercise:A serial transmission line can transmit 960 characters a second. Write a program that will caculate how long it will take to send a file, given the file''s size. Try it on a 400MB(419,430,400 byte) file. Use appropriate units. (A 400MB file takes days)
Here is my code
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
double bytes = 0;
double hours = 0;
cout << "Enter number of Bytes: ";
cin >> bytes;
hours = bytes/57600;
cout << "It will take about " << hours << " hours" <<endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
That''s the number of bytes it can transmit per hour (960 * 3600). 57600 is the number of bytes per minute.
Because you don''t have std:: before cout and cin.

Right, you either have to say where the cout and cin methods are coming from explicitely (std::cout, std::cin) or you have to tell the compiler that you''re using the std namespace:
using namespace std;
using namespace std;
