Hi all..
I've just started reading a C++ book, and I'm using Linux to compille the
source.
I try to compille this source:
/*
somefun.cpp
Ian M Wilks
*/
#include
void main()
{
char yesOrNo;
int year = 1997;
int birth_year;
int ageThisYear;
cout << "\nThis program illustrates the use of variables.\n"
cout << "Please enter your year of birth: "
cin >> birth_year;
cout << "Is the year still " << year << ". (Y/N): ";
cin >> yesOrNo;
if ((yesOrNo == `N`) || (yesOrNo == `n`))
{
cout << "Please enter current year (1997): ";
cin >> year;
}
ageThisYear = year - birth_year;
cout << "You are " << ageThisYear << " this year.\n";
cout << "You are obviously ";
if (ageThisYear < 13)
cout << "a young person.";
else
if ((ageThisYear >= 13) && (ageThisYear < 20))
cout << "a teenager.";
else
if ((ageThisYear >= 20) && (ageThisYear < 40))
cout << "a person waiting for life to begin!!);
else
if ((ageThisYear == 40)
else
if ((ageThisYear > 40) && (ageThisYear < 60))
cout << "a person who wonders if work is worth it!!";
else
cout << "a person in the prime of life.";
}
...but I only get this error:
sco-systems:~/work/code# g++ somefun.cpp somefun.cpp:48: unterminated string
or character constant somefun.cpp:40: possible real start of unterminated
constant sco-systems:~/work/code#
...and I don't understad any thing!
Help me! Thanx...
