Please Help

[cutieshunky]

I am trying to figure out how to run programs and compile them in C++ if anyone can help please let me know. The major problem I am having is on this particular problem Prb04-3.cpp it will not let me run it. I tried to paste it on here and wont do it for some reason.

Thanks

This is what I have and it will not run

// This program determines the commission on real estate sales
// depending on the type of property sold.

using namespace std;

  const double       RESIDENTIAL_RATE + 0.060;

int          property_code;

One, site rule, use CODE TAGS.
Two, I'm sure it won't compiler with non-existent <cstd1ib>.
Three, don't use exit(). You're in main() so why not just return(1)?

That's just all I saw while scrolling down the page. Use the code tags, and then people may be more compliant to help you.

What do you mean by code tags

Maybe most of the rules you've already broken perhaps?

All of the problems with the code you posted are due to carelessness -- misspelled words. When programming you have to learn to pay attention to small details, such as capitalization and spelling. Look at your compilers error messages and fix the problems one at a time. Normally the first error message is the most important. Fix it then recompile to see what's left.

Here is the program with all those errors corrected. I didn't run the program so I don't know if it works correctly or not.
