I've been using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate to learn C++ and have created a project file. Within that project file are 2 .cpp files. I use one to refresh my memory of what I've learned and the other to enhance my knowledge of C++. The problem is that whenever I try to run my code, it returns nothing but "Press any key to continue..." in the command prompt. I have created the project as Win32 Console Application and haven't messed around with any of the settings; I think. Also, I press F5 to compile and run my code as I do not know where the "Compile and Run" option is in the interface. I am trying to run this code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double a, b;
int c = 0;
for (a = 1.0; a == 100; a++) {
b = a/17;
cout << "If the Earth is " << a << " pounds, the Moon is " << b << "pounds./n";
}
c++;
if (c == 25) {
cout << "/n";
c = 0;
}
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
When I press F5, it returns nothing but "Press any key to continue...". I thought that maybe I had typed the code wrong so I wrote a very simple "Hello World" code, that also returned "Press any key to continue..." in the command prompt.
Please help!
Thanks.
