Hi everyone
I'm doing the following exercise:
Write a program that asks the user to input two real numbers n1 and n2. Compute the sum n1 + n2, the difference n1 - n2, the product n1 * n2 and the quotient n1 / n2 (assume n2 non-zero) and output the results. Your program output should be formatted as follows:
Enter a real number: 64.67
Enter a real number: -14.2
64.67 + -14.2 = 50.47
64.67 - -14.2 = 78.87
64.67 * -14.2 = -918.314
64.67 / -14.2 = -4.55423
Press any key to continue...
I use the following source code:
In the console window, I get:
Enter a real number n1: 64.67
Enter a real number n2: -14.2
64.67 + -14.221128000
64.67 - -14.2 = 0
64.67 * -14.2 = 0
64.67 / -14.2 = -1.#IND
Press any key to continue . . .
What have I done wrong in my source code please?
Thanks,
Chris.

You are initializing n1 and n2 to zero, and then you compute the sum, etc. before reading their values from the user, so all the results will be zero. Also note that for Quat, you have a division by zero (which should crash your program, I wonder why it doesn't).
You need to get the values for n1 and n2, and then do the calculations.
float Diff = n1 = n2;
is not the right way to calculate the difference.
Anyway, here is the deal:
float n1 = 0.0f;
float n2 = 0.0f;
float Sum = n1 + n2;
float Diff = n1 = n2;
float Prod = n1 * n2;
float Quot = n1 / n2;
First you have 2 numbers, both 0, and you do some calculations with them.
After that, you ask for 2 numbers, which are completely ignored in the calculation, and you print the new numbers + old results.
Chance the order, so that the program calculates after it knows the numbers.
Also I couldn't find your return.

Hi, thank you for your replies.
I adjusted my source code according to your suggestions and it does make sense what you've said. However, my output still isn't quite what it should be.
My source code is now:
I now get the following output:
Enter a real number n1: 64.67
Enter a real number n2: -14.2
64.67 + -14.2211280050.47
64.67 - -14.2 = 78.87
64.67 * -14.2 = -918.314
64.67 / -14.2 = -4.55423
Press any key to continue . . .
I can't see what I've done differently with the addition part of my source code compared to the rest.
Thanks, Chris.

cout << n1 << " + " << n2 << ' = ' << Sum;
that = should have quotes like " and not like ' (sorry i dont know the english word for those)
that = should have quotes like " and not like ' (sorry i dont know the english word for those)
// Perform sum cout << n1 << " + " << n2 << ' = ' << Sum; cout << endl; // Perform difference cout << n1 << " - " << n2 << " = " << Diff;'=' is not the same as "="

Hi, thanks for your replies.
Sorry, really should have noticed that one myself!
Thanks,
Chris.
