And if you aren't passing command line arguments or the programme has no use for them then those arguments aren't required.

Eh? The added code? It's not "added," nor is it a problem. It's for receiving command line arguments.
Thanks,

Hi,
The added code is done from VS (I remember having that problem and fixed it by creating a general CPP project).
Cheers,

Hi, all,

This looks like something I'm working on too.  I've a question though:

Why do books tell you to write:
int main()

but, I've seen folks here and on some websites I've  looked at write:

Int main  (int argc; char; **) or something like that?

Thanks,
Alex M

Hi Jes,

Something helpful that folks do in industry (not so much in academia
from my experience though) is called a code review where people insert
specific comments on selected lines of code.  I'll go ahead and do
that below prefixing my comments with "dave:".  Ken and Joseph had
some great comments as well.

//Ch5 Exercise 4, page 287 //Calculates and displays the average of
three test scores
dave:  "//" only need one per line.  You only need to put another "//"
if you start a new line (it doesn't matter how many sentences you have
in a comment as long as they're still on the same line.)

#include <iostream>
using <<std::cout;>>
using <<std::cin;>>
using <<std::endl;>>
dave: "using" has the purpose of restricting namespaces such as "using
namespace std;".  This has the effect of letting you say
cout << "hello!"
as opposed to
std::cout << "hello!"
It's a good topic to read up on in a C++ book.

//declare variables
int score_1 (0);
int score_2 (0);
int score_3 (0);
dave:  these are declared with global scope; you may want to consider
putting them in the main routine below.  Also, simple types like int
or float can be assigned to (such as int a = 0;).

//begin program
int main()
{
cout< "Please enter your first test score. You may enter decimal values: "
;
dave:  the "<>" syntax can be tricky here.  the "<<" operator directs
the string on the right to the stream on the left.  It should be
written as
cout << "hello!";

cin << score_1 >>;
cin <<score_2 >> ;
cin <<score_3 >> ;
dave:  Think of cin as an in-coming stream which you want to direct
elsewhere.  The "cin" blob is just a user typing stuff and you want to
direct it to a variable.  To do this, you can write
cin >> some_var;
The cin object only "writes" to the variable when the user presses enter.

return 0
}



Hth!

Hi,

Instead of writing
using std::bla
it's enough to write
using namespace std

Hi all,
This is a programming assignment I'm trying to do out of the class
text book. Any assistance would be appreciated, as well as any
feedback on how I am doing writing the code. I have this habit of not
writing the code all the way through, and compiling the program bit by
bit to make sure I don't get any errors in the process of coding. I
just want to make sure that the code I have already written is working
as it should before I continue writing. I'm sure this is not a good
habit to get into.
Thanks for any help.
Jes
