some of the errors that are coming up are:

error C2059: syntax error : '='
 error C2062: type 'int' unexpected
error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [8]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [10]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

and i have an undeclared identifier in there somewhere i just can't find it

i fixed the unidentified identifier

wait no i did not; how do i identify 'resultAdd'?

resultsub
resultmult
all the 'results' are unidentified what do i do?

// result of the operation when addition is chosen
resultAdd == firstNo + secondNo;
cout<< "the sum of the numbers are ->/n";
cin >> "resultAdd";

Just a couple of little errors here:
1. you used == in place of the assignment operator =
2. the cin >> "resultAdd"; line is not needed

I believe this is what you intended:

// result of the operation when addition is chosen
resultAdd = firstNo + secondNo;
cout<< "the sum of the numbers are ->" << resultAdd << "/n";

Follow this structure and you should be able to fix the other problems

i still have these errors:
error C2065: 'resultAdd' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'result' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'resultSub' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'result' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'resultMult' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'result' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'resultDivi' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'seconNo' : undeclared identifier

wait scratch that it the errors are: error C2065: 'resultSub' : undeclared identifier
for all resultDivi, resultAdd, etc.

and i am still getting this error code:
error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [9]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

which has been there from the beginning

you have your code like this

int firstNo;// first number is stored here
int secondNo,
int resultAdd,// variable for result when first number and second number are added
int resultSub,// variable for result when first number and second number are subtracted
int resultMult,// variable for result when first number and second number are multiplied
int resultDivi// variable for the reult when the first number and second number are divided

// when it should like this
int firstNo;// first number is stored here
int secondNo;
int resultAdd;// variable for result when first number and second number are added
int resultSub;// variable for result when first number and second number are subtracted
int resultMult;// variable for result when first number and second number are multiplied
int resultDivi;// variable for the reult when the first number and second number are divided

// or like this

int firstNo, secondNo, resultAdd, resultSub, resultMult, resultDivi;

thanks, i didn't notice i put in commas instead of semicolons, but i still have 1-3 errors which are:
syntax error : missing ';' before '<<'
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [9]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

i only have this now
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const char [9]' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Re-post your code (using the CODE tags) and we'll guide you in the right direction :)

its ok, after 5 hours of reading the text book, i got it to work.
