I'm having to sit through CS 101, too. And I can tell you this much: The first piece of "code" we went over was commenting 😛

Also, your style is annoying. INDENT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, INDENT.

And your comments should either be positioned next to (in most cases) or above (in the case of "sections") the relevant bits. Not below them. 😕

Programming courses need to focus more on code style, readability and modularity, since 99.9999% of a program's development cycle is spent being updated by someone other than the original dev team.

These are things you have to beat into a programmer's head when they're still baby programmers. If it looks like crap the first time they do it, it will largely stay that way.

True, so true
 
I'm roughly 90% certain you need "using namespace std;" below the include.

Other than that, you should be cool (except for the style issues that make me want to murder you with a shovel)
 
you need "using..." when you are using the new header style ie. without .h (eg <iostream> instead of <iostream.h> )

the old style still works for compatibility reasons but you should use the new header convention when you can

k are you using visual c++ to compile that? visual c++ allows the use of precompiled headers and it seems your project is using that option but you've removed the stdafx.h (the precompiled headers) reference

try adding it back eg #include "stdafx.h"

sorry.. of course you are using vc++ hence that log...

basically, add
#include "stdafx.h" to the top of the file and try again

well... obviously the vc++ compiler is looking for precompiled headers. either the IDE never created it for you or you deleted it or something else is wrong... can't really tell.

basically, your code should be working. it's just some quirk of that visual c++ compiler. it can be solved but as you can see, it's kind of difficult over the forums 😉

is it possible for you to send me the whole project as a zip file?

try putting this is

// C++ Program to Convert from celius to Fahrenheit and from fahrenheit to celsius


#include <iostream>
//Preprocessor Directives



int main(void)

{using namespace std;

double fahrenheit;
double celsius;
// Declaring Variables
cout <<"Hello. Welcome to the Temperature conversion program" <<endl;
cout <<"Please enter a Celsius value and press ENTER:" <<endl;
cin >> celsius;
fahrenheit= ((9.0/5)*celsius) + 32;
cout <<"You entered = " <<fahrenheit <<"celsius" <<endl;

return 0;
//finish running the program and return control to the operating system
}

cool...now stop using Xpress and use plain borland to compile. go to the command ...set your path and you are set. It's funny it's almost a year since I have touched C...but it's all coming back now.

where can I get it then?

Thsi ms stuff is pissing me off..it says that it cannot find the \debud \ xxx.exe file and that I might need that std file🙁

So what should I use as the IDE in windows?

Should I stick to Xpress or use something else?
